Material Cinema Workshop

Learn how to repurpose castaway mid-century 16mm film through scratching, painting, puncturing, boiling, bleaching, and more in this hands-on material cinema bonanza with filmmaker Ellie Vanderlip. Participants will review various "destructive" methods and examples and then jump into experimenting themselves, with each student creating their own sample reel of techniques to take home. Film and art materials will be provided. This workshop is crafted for both those who are new to these processes and those who are interested in deepening their knowledge.

Note: There will be short breaks and small snacks provided throughout the workshop. Participants are invited to pack a lunch and non-alcoholic beverages if desired.
