This single six-hour workshop, geared toward individuals with little or no experience shooting film, will focus on 16mm production basics using Bolex H16 Reflex cameras.
From the personal to the necropolitical, the artists in this program grapple with their own position as witnesses and the camera apparatus, the emulsion on the celluloid film strip, subtitles, video and audio signals as fickle and elusive, yet powerful, forms of evidence, while simultaneously embracing the relationship between sensing and making sense.
This workshop will explore alternative (eco/kitchen-sink) processing techniques on black and white film. There are a variety of recipes that yield excellent results. Film developing is never completely environmentally friendly, but you can minimize the risk to yourself and the environment significantly by processing your film with the recipes that we will teach in this class. We will teach both negative and reversal processing with chemicals easily accessible to the average person.
Join the AgX Film Collective during Waltham Mills Open Studios for an after hours screening program of recent works by AgX members, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers.

Karel Doing will teach the phytography technique he invented that makes it possible to create detailed chemical traces of plants directly on photographic emulsion. Participants will create their own images and see the results projected.
