SCREENING: THE FILM CAMERA + PANEL DISCUSSION

This screening includes films in which innovation is reflected through the camerawork and through the film material by mixing different frame rates, bi-packing, multiple passes, exploring the limits of lenses and light, incorporating found footage and working with wrong film stocks. Posing the question of how DIY analogue film labs and artist initiated film screenings stimulate and support innovation and new aesthetics in cinema, the panel will discuss approaches to collective film-making and screening, the sustainability of DIY film labs in the UK in the absence of any industrial processing facility and the role of universities in sustaining 16 mm film production.
