Past Workshop Descriptions

Hand Processing Colour Film

NOTE: It is recommended that participants wear a mask for all in-person workshops.

This hands-on workshop will teach you how to process colour reversal motion picture film stock in E-6 chemistry, using various techniques including spiral hand processing tanks and the “ bucket” method. Participants will shoot Super 8mm and16mm colour stocks and then put the processing techniques into practice. Participants will then view the footage that you processed, look at other films that were hand processed and further discuss the aesthetics and techniques of hand processing.

Please Note: The Super 8 Intensive and the Hand-Processing Colour Film workshops are similar in the hand processing components, and participants are advised to register for either or of these workshops. The key difference between the Super 8 Intensive and the Hand Processing Colour Film workflow is that the Super 8 Intensive involves hand processing of colour and black-and-white Super 8 film, while the Hand Processing Colour Film workshop involves hand processing of colour Super 8 and 16mm film. 

This workshop includes all film, darkroom chemistry and supplies. The Camera Theory and Hand Processing Black and White Film workshops are strongly recommended as prerequisites. This workshop is recommended as a companion to the Bolex, Arri SRII 16mm and Aaton XTR Prod Super 16mm Cameras, Darkroom Play with 16mm Colour Film and Hand Processing Black and White Film workshops.
