No camera? No problem! This 3-week Cameraless Filmmaking community class is designed for artists with an interest in film or anyone with a love for arts and crafts. We will scribble, scratch, hole-punch, and sticker our way to creating unique hand-made films directly onto 16mm celluloid. 

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn the basics of 16mm film, how it works and makes images. 
• Discover the many ways you can make a film without a camera, including finding footage, drawing directly on film, and more. 
• Watch examples of cameraless filmmaking, including darkroom experiments, direct animation, and visual music. 
• Create your own short film(s) directly on 16mm which will be projected during the workshop. 

This workshop is about exploring the endless possibilities in filmmaking and considering new ways to express yourself with moving images. No experience is required! Just bring your imagination and curiosity.  
 

Please note: due to the nature of the materials, the films often create flashing lights and quick movements. This class is not recommended for artists with photosensitivies.

This class is open for anyone over 18 years old, whether they identify as a member of a disability community or not, however the class prioritizes accessibility. Instructions are given in plain language, and the location of the class is wheelchair accessible. ASL or Audio Description interpretation is available upon request.  

Facilitated by: Jack Parker, fiction and non-fiction filmmaker from Calgary, Alberta.
