Experiment Film

Film is more than comfortable armchairs, popcorn and an action scene with Brad Pitt. And film education can be more than just teaching classic film concepts. We therefore invite you to an experimental film workshop in which we learn to understand cinema through a playful examination of real 35mm film material: How is the image we see actually created? What influence does light have? Can film really be edited? And what does sound have to do with film?Without a camera or script, we all become filmmakers: Using brushes and scissors, we approach existing film material to create bright colors, shapes and new contexts on the screen.

In a 4-day workshop we dive into the world of analog film. In a play- ful and experimental way, the children deal with the film material and learn how film is created through light, editing and sound. Analog film trailers are cut up and glued together again or painted with color. In between, the results are viewed with a projector to see what we can create; with the help of film and light. We feel the images and in the second step we think together about what sounds could accompany them, what music we want to add to them live.

The results were presented after the workshop in a film screening at sinema transtopia, to which the children, friends, family and neighbors were invited.
