Timeless Motion - Cinegram 2-Day Workshop
Workshop instructor Kerry Laitala will introduce students to the art of abstract filmmaking made without a camera. Students will make a short group film with a flashlight producing miniature photograms on the surface of 16mm film by hand.
This is a 2-Day Workshop. Please be prepared to attend both sessions:
Wednesday, March 2, 2016, 3-6pm
Saturday, March 5, 2016, 12-3pm
The instructor will provide some materials, but students should be bring some of their own for the cinegram workshop. These could be, but are not limited to:
feathers, buttons, small stickers, sequins, lace, "Letraset" letters, (rub on) images, painted film, anything graphically or texturally interesting or symbolically meaningful, etc. The film stock is negative, so remember to bring in things that you think will render well in this form. Also the frame size is not more than 16mm wide, so small objects work best if you want to render the whole object. You could also xerox onto acetate and use other photographic material such as negatives, or positive images in any size.

The Cinegram 2-Day Workshop s part of the Timeless Motion exhibition at SOMArts (934 Brannan St., between 8th & 9th) on view from February 18 March 23, 2016.
Timeless Motion reveals the science and magic behind cinema through photography, collage, drawing, celluloid, sculptural installation and projected light. This exhibition features new artwork from seven moving image artists (Paul Clipson, Keith Evans, Kerry Laitala, Jeanne Liotta, Kathleen Quillian, Scott Stark, Mark Wilson) exposing the ways in which moving image art is created and perceived. Activated by a series of live cinema performances and a panel discussion with Bay Area underground cinema experts, Timeless Motion shows how the human response to visual phenomena drives the entrancing illusion of movement.
