This workshop offers the participants a unique opportunity to learn all the intricacies and possibilities of creating in the Super 8 format, as well as being an introduction to working with film in general. The workshop will cover the various functions of the Super 8 cameras, the types of film, the light meter, and the various processing options. Participants will have a camera at their disposal during the second part of the workshop to shoot their Super 8 film of 3 minutes (time of a cartridge) with live editing in the camera. The shooting will be done in a cadaver excquis style, a creative and open collaboration: the person who has just filmed describes his or her shot in great detail so that the next person can compose a shot that will make a dynamic “in-camera” montage. During the third part of the workshop, participants discover and present the films they have shot.

The workshop fee includes the black & white Super 8 film cartridges and the use of the Super 8 cameras. It does not include the cost of processing, scanning and shipping to Niagara Custom Lab (approximately $60 per cartridge) which will be the responsibility of the participants.
