The Long & Short of It

Info

Led by Alia Syed, this workshop will involve sharing memories through objects. Bring an object of personal significance that fits into the palm of your hand and a willingness to share your memories. But don't tell anyone what your object is, it needs to remain a secret!

The memories collected in this workshop will become building blocks to explore ways of storytelling. We will capture the ways we interpret and preserve our histories, exploring the richness and complexities of our cultures.

Following on from this, we will then film our objects using a clockwork Bolex. You will be shown how to load a Bolex, take a light reading, and then film your object with the rest of the group.

Prior knowledge of 16mm is useful but not necessary to participate in this workshop.
