Experimental 16mm film workshop with found footage, foliage, and flowers with Julia Parks and Jameela Khan. 13th November 2021

As part of Seaweed Stories, we are running an in-person filmmaking workshops in collaboration with Florence Arts Centre in Egremont.

During the workshop you will learn how to re-work 16mm found footage using hands-on techniques such as re-editing to drawing and painting directly onto the film strip. We will also explore ways we can use locally collected plants, flowers, and seaweed to create direct prints on the surface of the film.

The workshop is open to all levels of experience-you do not have to have a background in film or photography to attend this workshop.

Seaweed Snacks and refreshments will be provided but we recommend you bring your own lunch.
