Joint1 & interested alumni & 2nd years: 10:00 - 15:00 @ V2_: Vertical Cinema Part3 -A hands-on Masterclaas workshop by Esther Urlus of the Filmwerkplaats Rotterdam as part of the trim2 Thematic Seminar: Sound and Narrative

In this workshop film artist Esther Urlus will present a closer look at the original engine of expanded cinema: the projector. Specifically, participants will explore how to work with 16mm projection devices to allow an expansion of their potential and a re-purposing of their function. Discussion and examination of the various elements of projection: light, lens, focal plane, film gate, speed, shutter, multiple projections and screen will all be explored with live examples and an up-close and hands-on approach. Participants will be given the opportunity to try out various techniques, and will leave with a better understanding of how these elements work both separately and in tandem, as well as with a demystification of the primary instrument of the motion picture.

Esther Urlus (NL) makes Super8, 16mm and 35mm films and installations. Her work arises from the DIY method. Kneading with the material, by trial, error and (re) inventing, she creates new works. She is founder and chairman of the Filmwerkplaats Rotterdam (2000) an artist run workspace dedicated to motion picture film as an artistic, expressive medium. It's geared towards filmmakers, artists and art school students interested in 16mm film not purely as a storage medium for their ideas, visuals and soundtrack, but as a material that actively shapes and distorts these thoughts, images and sounds. The filmwerkplaats works as an association and facilitates a workshop and lab for experimental film and the DIY method, and is one of the few places left in Europe where you can work with Super-8 and 16mm film.
