Weaving the Patterns / Tejiendo la Tierra - Film Loop Workshop
We weave our life, stories, images, and wonder in the world. Join Calle Soledad Presa [https://shop.callesoledadpresa.com/] and ENTRE for a hands-on 16mm film looping workshop. Working with found footage, participants will weave frames together, creating various film loops that will be projected on 16mm projectors. Participants will learn how to create loops, load a 16mm projector and are encouraged to play with overlaying the projected images on various surfaces. Not sure what this looks like? Check out this interview with Elena Pardo [https://www.facebook.com/AmbulanteAC/videos/entrevista-con-elena-pardo/3153223561609430/], a Mexican experimental filmmaker whose work combines celluloid and performance. All materials provided. Free! Only 12 spots available. RSVP to reserve your place! The film loops created in this workshop will be exhibited/performed at Trucha on Saturday May 16th from 6-9PM. This workshop is part of a series designed and facilitated by Diana Lizette Rodriguez of Calle Soledad Presa, in collaboration with Unfolded Poetry Project [https://unfoldedpoetryproject.com/], ENTRE and Trucha [https://truchargv.com/].
