SUPER 8 FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS + FESTIVAL

Screening Wednesday April 14 @ 8 pm
Free and Opening to all ages
Snacks and refreshments provided

Faucet Media Arts Centre & Struts Gallery is pleased to present an introductory filmmaking workshop leading up to our 11th Annual Super 8 Hotel Film Festival. This annual programming highlight provides the opportunity for participants to shoot their own short film and even hand process the stock before presenting their finished piece on the big screen. Veteran filmmaker and Faucet Production Supervisor, Amanda Dawn Christie will facilitate this workshop providing an introduction to super 8 filmmaking, a beautiful, affordable and exciting alternative to video. Amanda will discuss the basics of camera operation and exposure, film types and some other fun stuff. Participants will then have a couple of weeks to book a camera, shoot a roll of film and have it developed in time for the Super 8 Hotel Film Festival. The workshop will also cover the basics of 16mm filmmaking at Faucet. The date of the workshop is Saturday, March 13th, from 1 - 4 pm and it is free, though there is a cost for the film and processing.
