Amongst numerous features, the workshop maintains a darkroom that includes a 16mm contact printer, optical printer with custom-made electronics, 16mm and 8mm cameras, and projectors. Over the past decade or so the group has presented over one hundred 16mm film screenings throughout metropolitan Melbourne. Comprised of recent and brand new work to be screened on 16mm, this program is personally delivered from their voyage North via Canberra’s Hair Antic’s micro-cinema.

Following the screening Paddy and Sebastian will run a Soup-boiler Super 8 workshop on color negative hand processing of super 8 films on Sunday the 19th from 12pm to 5pm.

Soda – 16mm, 7mins (Hanna Chetwin)

Soda explores the forms and rhythms of bubbles. the film uses cameraless techniques (including scratching and rayogramming) intercut with footage of water in progressive stages of boiling. accompanied by a soundtrack by Rohan Drape.

Fade – 16mm, 6mins (Callum Ross-Thompson)

Found footage taken from a long forgotten, badly scratched and faded 16mm educational film print on volcanoes, superimposed atop recently shot 16mm macro footage of a human skull. The skull is a similarly neglected teaching aid, once used for anatomy classes many decades ago before the use of real human remains in schools became less common in favour of more durable, socially sustainable plastic models

A solarised text describes objects beyond the frame.

Goldfish Lightbulb – 16mm, 6mins (Richard Munro)

A film focused on two unnamed characters, a boy, and a girl. It is unclear how they may or may not know each other. They go about their own lives each day, seemingly always crossing paths or seeing each other from a distanc

China Not China – 16mm, 14mins (Dianna Barrie & Richard Tuohy)

Hong Kong marked 20 years since its handover to China; half way through the planned 40 year “one country, two systems” transition. Taiwan, once imperial China, once Formosa, now ROC (Republic of China) on the edge of the PRC (People’s Republic of China). Multiple exposures of street scenes distort space and place creating a fluid sense of impermanence and transition, of two states somewhere between China and not China.
