Ancestral Returns: Collective Filmmaking for Beyond Human Experiences

Starts: 11 a.m.
Talk / Seminar   PWYC
Glasgow Glasgow Zine Library, G42 8DN

Imagine yourself as an ancestor returning to create a film with others. This workshop will explore lo-fi filmmaking and create a zine art manifesto that guides collective filmmaking practice. Drawing inspiration from film collectives such as Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, the session will experiment with analogue and Super 8 film techniques and found materials. The event will be structured around collaborative tasks, where participants will work together to create a collective narrative, engaging in practices like etching, scratching, and coating film.

At the end of the session, we will distil our experiences and creative principles into a guide, which will be compiled into a zine. This is an opportunity to experiment, play, and engage in collective film-making that connects beyond human experiences.

A simple lunch of soup and bread (with vegan / gluten free options) will be provided but please do feel free to bring your own lunch if you prefer. Tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit will be available throughout the day.
