This workshop introduces participants step-by-step to a fun 16mm film processing technique: Chromaflex.
This method allows you to selectively control negative and positive images in color and black & white on the same strip of film. It also allows you to make these selection decisions in full light, with the images visible before your eyes. In addition to an interesting experimental film technique, this workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn in detail how color development works. By following this workshop, you’ll have no trouble developing 16 mm at home!
Please note that the workshop will be given in French, but questions may be asked in English. For more information, please contact us at: services@mainfilm.qc.ca

Motivated by the discovery of unique aesthetic processes, he practices experimental cinema and navigates exploratory approaches to fiction and documentary. Versatile, he has experience in cinematography and directing, as well as in production, sound design and various experimental practices, such as hand-developing film. His most recent film, 117/323, was presented at the 40th Rendez-vous Québec cinéma. In 2022, he received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec to make his first hybrid short film (fiction/experimental), entitled Les fougères prédatent les dinosaures.
