I teach cameraless filmmaking (or 'handmade film') in my Intro to 16mm film production course every Spring at Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY. Students explore techniques such as collage, direct animation, tinting, dyeing, hole-punching, scratching and anything else they can come up with. This is the first project in the course as it allows students to become comfortable with film-as-material, provides familiarity with the frame structure of 16mm and allows me to teach splicing and, most importantly, projection. Once students have an understanding of projection, I find they more quickly grasp the mechanics of the 16mm film camera.
This course is 15 weeks and offered for college credit through 3 local universities, and is open to the public as a non-credit course.
