FILM 44.01 Handmade Cinema

This course will explore non-conventional, artisanal modes of experimental and avant-garde cinema that focus on the materiality of moving image media formats.  By utilizing a variety of techniques--direct image and sound manipulation on 16 mm film, hand-processing, ray-o-grams, animation, special effects, and live-projector performance--students will gain total filmmaker toolsets through constructing a series of exercises that will screen publicly.  In addition to producing personal projects, students will complete a series of short papers that build upon our screeings, readings, and discussions to locate handmade cinema within historical and cultural contexts.
