the Oxberry Optical Printer | Masterclass

13.10.16 - 16.10.2016

A masterclass focused on the re-engineering of analog film devices, particularly the Oxberry Optical Printer – its handling, maintenance and possibility of being modified. The objective is to strengthen the network of technicians and artists connected to Filmwerkplaats Rotterdam who are interested in the technical aspects of the Oxberry Optical Printer. Aiming further on, to design a new control program for the Oxberry 1200 model.

How to make this sophisticated tools of yesteryear future-proof and fit to the contemporary demands of analog filmmakers?

A hands-on workshop will follow the masterclass, taking place later this year, open to the public. Participants will then learn a wide array of filmmaking tools that the Oxberry Optical Printer offers.
