In this workshop, participants will explore shadow, movement, and rhythm through various contact printing techniques, using 16mm film and swatches/samples of fabric. Following a short screening of relevant works, participants will be shown how to play with cameraless compositions, expose and develop 3378 print film, both in and out of traditional darkroom spaces. Resulting images can be in either positive or negative, with opportunities for optical soundtracks created by the materials exposed.

Resulting 16mm workshop footage will screen alongside Thread Tension, a fabric-focused screening presented by XINEMA on Saturday August 23.

The participants are invited to bring their own fabric of various levels of transparency, stretch and weight to experiment with.
