The contact printer is one of the most essential tools of the cinema. If you want to work with film, and in particular with projecting film on film, then you will most certainly want to work with contact prints. The trouble is, contact printing services are getting scarce, and then there is the cost involved. In this workshop, Ricahrd Tuohy and Dianna Barrie from Australia will show you how to use a Steenbeck film editor as a DIY colour contact printer right here in Montreal! We will work with colour negative film material towards making fine colour prints, developing using the ECP
(colour positive) process. But then we will go further! The contact printer doesn’t just have to make straight duplicates; it can also be a creative tool! As part of the workshop we will explore various image blending and compositing techniques for the DIY contact printer. The possibilities are endless!
This will of course be a hands on process using photographic chemistry etc., so please dress accordingly.
The workshop is entirely given in English.
No prior experience with film is required. All materials will be supplied and included in the price of the workshop.
