This course teaches the basic skills of 16mm film production, including camera work, editing, animation, optical printing, and preparation for a finished work in film and video. We will explore multiple ways this spatial-temporal medium can shape our perceptions of the world and help narrate stories waiting to be told. Students will submit weekly written responses to theoretical and historical readings and to screenings of films and DVDs that represent a variety of aesthetic approaches to the moving image. There will be a series of filmmaking assignments culminating in a final project. The bulk of the work will be produced in 16mm format including animation, optical printing, plus a variety of ways to self-process film or create cameraless moving images. Keywords: filmmaking, analog, 16mm, film

Lab/Materials fee:$65 Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
