Camera-less Filmmaking - 35 mm Floral Collage

Level: Beginner
Medium: Photography
Ages: Teen/Adult

You don't need a camera to make a film, you just need creativity, craftiness, a forager's eye, and a few accessible supplies. Using 35mm clear leader and tape, let's make a floral film!
Led by an accomplished award-winning filmmaker, participants will be working on 35mm clear leader film, using tape to paste flowers and plants to the film in a collage manner. Using flower cuttings and/or foraged plants, we will be working side by side on portions and playing around with placement together to create beautiful compositions.
After the class, the instructor will scan it at an animation stand and send out a digital movie for all to enjoy.

Location: The Make Space room at FortyOne: Local Art Market, 41 Victoria Street East, Alliston
