Super 8mm film negative by Helena Gouveia Monteiro

What will I learn?

You will learn about different types of film stock and equipment, how to use the camera and shoot your own film as a group, and how to process it in reversal (positive) black&white chemistry.

We will then project the film together and each participant will keep their own (approximately 1min) footage.
