Handmade Cinema: Film, Camera, Darkroom, Projector | Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Handmade Cinema: Film, Camera, Darkroom, Projector

This five-week workshop explores the medium of analog filmmaking in the tradition of the experimental and avant-garde. Focus is placed on the physicality of the film stock, the basic mechanics of the camera and projector, and how these elements translate into a visual language and aesthetic. This workshop balances the technical, conceptual, and historical aspects of small-gauge or amateur analog filmmaking and addresses what it means to work in this medium at the beginning of the 21st century.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
