About this Event
Super 8 adventure weekend!
Join EPFC North and Cat Hart for a fun and beginner-friendly 2-day workshop celebrating Super 8 filmmaking and eco-processing.
On Day 1, we’ll learn about film history, camera mechanics and analogue cinematography techniques and then put our new knowledge into practice as we do some collaborative filming outdoors as we ramble around Garry Point Park.
On Day 2, we’ll make our own eco-friendly developer brew with ingredients from the kitchen and garden, including local leaves, flowers and fruit gathered during Day 1’s filming expedition.
The workshop will end with a little lesson in analog editing and exhibition, and a screening of our fabulous finished film. This workshop is offered free of charge with all equipment and materials provided.
Workshop support generously provided by the Vancouver Foundation Neighbourhood Small Grants, Richmond Cares Richmond Gives, the Association fo Neighbourhood Houses BC, and the Branscombe House Artist Residency!
