Harkat Studios is one of those platforms in the city that believes firmly in the magic of analogue films. In the past, they have organised the 16mm film festival as an effort in this direction. This weekend, their workshop Cameraless-16mm offers artistes tools, techniques, and a creative space to try their hands at making moving images on film without using a camera. This means working with found footage from existing film reels or animating blank ones by drawing and painting on them.
“We’ve organised workshops earlier that made use of other techniques that require a darkroom and chemicals, but this one is without the use of a camera or a darkroom. It focuses on the physicality of the medium, and not so much on the technicalities of using a camera and developing images using chemicals,” shares Simran Ankolkar from Harkat Studios, who facilitates these workshops. The day-long session will begin with a demo where participants will learn about the medium and how they could achieve different results using a variety of interesting techniques that are applicable to it. Following this, they will get to play around with some of these techniques and create their own work. At the end of the workshop, participants will get to watch their work roll out through a 16mm projector.
