About this event

Processing takes film as a site of alchemy: a medium to be scratched, spliced, remixed and reanimated until its material grain becomes indistinguishable from memory itself. Across hand-processed Super 8, analogue video synthesis and found footage, this shorts programme interlaces the medium and materiality of queer film with desire and speculative futures; it refuses fixity. As part of the screening, you are invited to take part in a cameraless 16mm filmmaking workshop. Working collaboratively through a series of material experiments, shared scores and collective processes, the group will scratch, draw on and rework film by hand. These experiments will be assembled into a short community film and screened as part of the programme. Workshop: 60 min Film Screening: 45 min

A different kind of night

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
