This workshop will focus on basic technical and aesthetic skills necessary to successfully begin working with 16mm film, through theory, hands-on camera and lighting. Topics discussed include, independent 16mm filmmaking, story or theme development, technical and crew needs, basic lighting skills, camera operation and editing. Students will have the opportunity to work with IFCO’s 16mm Bolex camera; they will also shoot their own short 16mm B&W silent film, putting principles into action. Students will be introduced to editing using IFCO’s 16mm flatbed editing tables. The students will edit their films and prepare a final cut that will be screened at a special screening event. This workshop will focus on what filmmaking is all about and that is creating visual images that tell a story.
