Workshop with LIFT’s Fall 2012 Artist in Residence Helga Fanderl

Enrollment: Limit 12

This workshop provides an insight into Helga Fanderl’s specific way of making films and working with them. Based on the screening of a selection of her films the artist will talk about her personal approach to in camera-editing, composing changing programmes and creating site specific projections – inside and outside of institutions. Some of her work will be projected in the different formats, Super 8 and 16mm blowups and digitized, to allow for an in-depth discussion and reflection on the differences between the media, and also between screening, making exhibitions or installations. The workshop will focus at the same time on individual interests and sensitivities influencing the reception of the beholder, and wants to inspire the participants to make their own films.
