2-day workshop with filmmaker Johann Lurf at WORM.Filmwerkplaats

Day One: Space

The workshop will present historical and recent film examples on how to approach space with the means of the moving image. These will be explained in their structural approach and also technical methods (for example optical printing and contact printing). Mathematical patterns and editing structures. Maps and their different perspectives as a guide. Camera positions and the moving camera. Three dimensional film making, and collection of visual knowledge.

Day Two: Found Footage

Existing moving imagery and its artistic use.
Concerns of aspect ratios and sound formats – their technical parameters and ways of working with these. Copying and printing from analogue and digital sources, optical and magnetic soundtracks through time and their actual use.
