The workshop introduces techniques and tools for working with expanded cinema performances

About:

In this 3-day workshop, we will be experimenting with creating matts, rayogramming and printing in multiple layers on a Steenbeck editing table. The loops that we create from this material will be used to experiment with expanded cinema performance with multiple projectors. The workshop will culminate in a collective performance by the workshop participants.

As part of the workshop we will provide: Film stock, equipment, chemicals, our time and some different experience working with different analogue equipment/formats, lunch and coffee :) 

What you provide: Cooperation, any knowledge that you have and some curiosity and will to get dirty mixing chemistry, appropriate outdoor clothing for filming outside, and clothes which can get messy in the darkroom.

Cost

We ask for a limited fee of 500kr to cover some of the costs of materials, but if you are unwaged/low-waged get in touch as we have some free spaces. We aim to make Polar Film Lab as accessible as possible, for as broad a group as possible, and aim to offer as much free or on a ‘Pay what you can’ framework as possible - if you receive project funding or have an income, we ask that you help us keep doing what we are doing by paying a small fee.

The workshop language is english.

PFL provides equipment and material for the workshop
