“A 16mm contact printer is a great thing to have. It’s a very powerful piece of film-making equipment and is an essential part of the apparatus of cinema. And Sydney’s new Workshop for Potential Cinema has one! Traditionally, the contact printer was designed to do one thing: make near perfect duplicates relatively quickly. If you have access to one, however, there is much more that can be done with these machines than just simple duplication. It’s possible to use them for compositing images and other improvisatory image manipulations. In this workshop we will explore the basic operation of the contact printer in colour printing onto Kodak 3383 16mm colour print stock… And then we will get into some of the serious game playing that’s possible with a simple colour contact printer”.
When: Saturday 28th April, 2018, 10.30am – 6pm
Where: “Archies”, Archway 4, Jubilee Park Oval, Chapman Road (see contact page for more detail)

16MM FILMMAKING WORKSHOP PROGRAM 2017:
Filming and Processing 16mm Film
The first two workshops on Wed 19th and Wed 26th April (note: repeat workshops on Wed 3rd & Wed 10th May) will introduce the practice of DIY 16mm filmmaking from shooting to processing our own B&W film.
Workshop One: This workshop will cover using the (Bolex) camera including camera loading, exposure, continuous and variable speed shooting, time lapse & time exposure, lenses, film sensitivity, light metering, film speed ISO/ASA/DIN. The group will shoot 2 rolls of 16mm film ready for processing in Part 2.
Workshop Two: This workshop will cover the hand processing of 16mm film including the use of chemicals, loading the LOMO tank, the B&W negative & reversal processing, drying your film and projecting.
The possibility of full control over the filmmaking process, among other things, has in recent years motivated the birth of independent laboratories, self-managed by artists and filmmakers, all over the world. Workshop for Potential Cinema joins in this tradition and welcomes artists, filmmakers, students or anyone interested in audiovisual creation, in materiality of film and artisanal processes of creation and cinematic experimentation.

Sydney College of the Arts & Workshop for Potential Cinema presents visiting filmmaker Richard Tuohy in a unique hands on workshop. This all day workshop will be a crash course in working with16mm film and experimental dark room techniques to explore a new photo-chemical approach, ‘Chromaflex’, which allows colour and black and white images on the same strip of film.
This technique can generate areas of colour negative, colour positive, black and white, as well as areas of clear or black all on the one strip of film or indeed within the one frame.
The Chromaflex workshop is suitable for film novices however, it is equally engaging for advanced experimental film practitioners.
