16MM Filmmaking Workshop
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.
