Led by experimental filmmaker Peter Sandmark - a member of the RAW STOCK film collective.
Participants will learn how to use a BOLEX camera, including an overview of parts; loading film; various shutter speeds: 16, 18, 24, 48, 64, as well as single-frame exposure or pixillation; use of the shutter and aperture to control exposures; and special features, such as the rewind key to make in-camera superimpositions.
Participants will also gain an understanding of film stocks: S-8 black and white, as well as 16 mm, 3378 Hi-contrast film, lighting with three lights, doing a standard setup, and then experimenting with lighting setups. We'll do light meter readings, and then shoot B&W film with the Bolex. Finally, we will hand-process the 16 mm negative film using an “eco-processing” developer called CAFENOL, and project the final film negative.
