Dear friends, On the evening of Friday 24th May at 7.30pm, the internationally renowned Canadian artist filmmaking collective ‘Film Farm’ <https://philiphoffman.ca/film-farm/> and artist filmmaker Karel Doing <http://kareldoing.net/Biography.html> will present a special programme of their 16mm films at Analogue Farm <https://www.analoguefarm.com/> in Whitworth, Rossendale, UK.
Film Farm works have all been made since 1994 as a result of intensive workshops for twelve different artists each year, some novices – some highly experienced, who learn how to shoot, hand-process, tint/tone and edit 16mm film. These handmade films have been produced in the countryside using methods that increasingly involve experimentation with biodegradable photographic chemistry. Karel Doing was artist-in-residence at Film Farm in 2018. He will screen a selection of works that showcase the 'phytogram' filmmaking method, which uses the internal chemistry of plants to create photographic images. Karel is also running a workshop from 10.30am-4pm the same day. Participants will learn a simple hands-on process that yields spectacular results and can easily be continued independently. The workshop is open to people age 12+ and no former experience or knowledge is necessary. The screening is free (suggested donation £3) Please book your place through Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/experimental-film-screening-with-film-farm-and-karel-doing-tickets-61117888249 <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/experimental-film-screening-with-film-farm-and-karel-doing-tickets-61117888249> The workshop fee is £27.50 per person with lunch and refreshments provided.
