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.

About the Tutor

Purkyně’s Dusk (2021) is distributed by Light Cone Paris, and Man of Aral (2023) was supported by the Arts Council of Ireland Film Project Award.
