Images Festival is committed to providing an accessible festival and continues to work to reduce barriers to participation at our events. This year, we are implementing a COVID-19 policy to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission for all, and to prioritize the participation of people who are disability-identified, immunocompromised, or part of an otherwise vulnerable group.
The following guidelines will be in place: Self-Assessment: We ask that staff and participants screen themselves for COVID-19 before visiting the exhibition.
In this hands-on workshop, participants learn how to develop pre-shot 16mm black-and-white film using organic products such as flowers, coffee, and bee pollen. Students have the opportunity to create homemade organic developers and hand-process their film in Lomo tanks. They will also learn the history of eco-processing and how it relates to the photochemical process, and be introduced to other artists who incorporate eco-processing into their practice. At the end of the workshop, students will have hands-on experience and the knowledge to embark on their own eco-processing adventures. This is an intermediate workshop for those with working knowledge of analogue filmmaking and familiarity shooting with a Bolex 16mm camera.
This workshop includes: darkroom chemistry and supplies. Please come to the workshop with footage you have shot on B&W 16mm film. Ideally Kodak 3378, which can be purchased through the LIFT store.
Maximum 4 participants Cost: $45.00
