EXPERIMENTAL FILM PRODUCTION 101

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1, 9AM - 2PM
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 10AM - 3PM

FILM ARTS FOUNDATION
Limited to 12, $100/Filmmaker-level members; $120/others
Taught by Festival filmmaker Ken Paul Rosenthal, this comprehensive, 2-part, 10-hour workshop will introduce filmmaking as a fine, but renegade, art form. Two areas of alternative production will be covered in great detail; direct manipulation and hand-processing. The emphasis is on low-to-no-tech experimentation. An excellent primer for those who are new to making film as a means of personal expression, or those looking to put some "funk" into their films. Participants are encouraged to bring exposed Super-8 Ektachrome film to process for Sunday's session.

 


MEDIA ACTIVISM: A CRASH COURSE

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1PM ROXIE

Whispered Media and the Empire Collective screen clips and discuss the impact of their films in the community, and representatives from Media Alliance and AIVF moderate a lively discussion on the power of the political camera, the major obstacles faced in activist media, and the future of social-issue filmmaking. This special event is meant to ignite ideas and inspire artists to pick up their cameras and change the world. Admission is free.
