Student training: 16mm filmmaking workshop

I am pleased to be able to use the larger Transmissions project to train Goldsmiths MA Visual Sociology students in 16mm filmmaking at No.W.Here. Ten students, Nina and I have just completed an intensive workshop on making and editing filmic techniques. It was a hectic two days and it was amazing how much we all learnt about the technology, its socio-material history and our own practices. I personally saw lots of very exciting possibilities for links between these new skills and the bloomer project.
