4 X 8 KAFFENOL, COPYING AND PROJECTING IN 8 & 16MM
When you shoot on film, you actually decide on a format, have the film developed and can project it at the end.
That's not what Canadian filmmaker Sandy McLennan does. When he films, he develops it himself - in coffee -, copies it on equipment he has devised himself, tints, colours and distorts it, shows negative and positive images. But all of this is not on a standard format, but on the smallest film format, normal 8mm. And all of this in parallel, because he uses a 16mm projector rather than an 8mm one for the projection. So he doesn't create one film image, but four small ones in parallel in one large one. He blurs different levels of time, allowing everything to run forwards and backwards in parallel.
In the two-day workshop, McLennan will present this way of working and show how to work with normal 8 mm film outside the norm, how to copy, how to develop with Kaffenol and how to create positive and negative images in parallel, distort them and project them in parallel.
Date 15/16 March 2024 time 10 am - 4 pm; presentation of the results 17 March 2024 13.30 – 14.15 pm
Location Photo workshop, media workshop at riesa efau. Kultur Forum Dresden, Wachsbleichstr. 4a, 01067 Dresden
Lecturer Sandy McLennan loves wandering just outside his darkroom door (the home or portable one) with cameras and sound recorders. Processing Double 8/super 8/16mm motion pictures and pinhole-camera paper negatives reveals memory of personal and state-of-the-world emotions. His oeuvre includes numerous films, photographs, installations and performances. He has also received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and is an experienced facilitator of numerous analogue film workshops. sandymclennan.com
