SU23 - 16mm Collage & Animation

Led by filmmaker Rhayne Vermette, participants will learn hand-on techniques in the practice of 16mm collage and animation directly on film.

This workshop is a working lab which considers acts of exhuming images through found footage. A short lecture will precede a studio/working session. Through examples and ideas, Rhayne will draw from a web of varying topics such as the spirit of images, abstraction, personal archives, cataloguing, image as building material, and Sun Ra’s principles of precision & discipline. Participants will explore destruction/reconstruction processes which engage found footage beyond the context of moving image. Workshop will conclude with a discussion.
