Workshop: 16mm Creative Filmmaking

This intensive four-week workshop allows students to learn 16mm production and post-production basics for use in personal, creative, avant-garde, visionary, or experimental filmmaking, including: use of the 16mm Bolex camera, lenses, lighting and light metering, non-sync sound recording, magnetic sound transfers, and flatbed editing. It is an ideal course for graduate and post-bacc students (in any field) who wish to obtain film fundamentals, as well as for undergraduates who wish to accelerate progression into intermediate or advanced film courses. Students will screen and discuss experimental, experimental-narrative,
and experimental-documentary work by other artists who, over the course of avant-garde film history, have often made use of the very means of production and post-production taught in this course. Cost to the student for film supplies: $60–$100.
