Hi Albert! In the Intro to Production course I teach every fall at Bucknell University, the students make all their projects on digital video, but we spend a week early in the semester on 16mm. One day we go out with a Bolex and while half of the group is out filming, the other half is making cameraless films, and then they swap (it's direct animation with black leader, clear leader, scratching tools, markers and there's also a bunch of cut up prints [educational films, mostly] that they can work with as found footage).
For my class, it's a means of introducing students to 16mm, to handling it, etc. And a way to show them about some of the history of experimental/artist made film, including animation (we watch a few things as well).
