Workshop
This set of workshops examines through making, screening and discussion, what experimental animation is, how it's different to regular animation, what's new in the field and that which endures. Through making, screening and discussion you will explore both 16mm direct camera-less animation and Bolex camera single frame animation. In small groups you will devise and shoot a short film (that may include techniques and methods such as pixilation, time-lapse and stop motion) and develop it in the BEEF dark room. A context for the imaginative use of animated film will be mapped out through the study of work by artists such as Margaret Tait, Norman McLaren, Marie Menken and Sarah Pucill.
