The Wabi-Sabi in Super 8
• Film Show 19 October 2023
• Workshop 21 October 2023
Balkan Can Kino / Festival “6th Symposium”
@
ZOETROPE Athens, Greece
“¡Viva Kompostol! Super 8 + eco processing”
A short 1-day Super 8 workshop
Up to 6 participants, 1 black and white Super 8 cassette, filming together and collecting the ingredients, stirring together and developing! 15 meters of Super 8 film, bio-developed, air-dried, straight into the projector and thrown on the wall according to guerrilla screening!
“We go out and pick a few flowers, take some tree bark with us and the kiwi and banana peels from breakfast, brew a soup out of it, add vitamin C and washing soda, stir, enjoy the sudden chemical reaction that bubbles slightly, carefully sniffing at the scent that has never been smelled before and gives us the feeling of being somehow very close to (healthy) matter, art and reality!
What are film layers made of, what makes light, how do I act as a developer, how are we all connected and why do leftovers work – the magic of the haptic analog claws us and spins us into the universe of ecologically harmless organic soup development!”
The workshop is over and it was fantastic! We mixed a powerful soup, called it “Athenol” and developed one film cassette with it. Result: great!
Thank you for being part of the joyful adventure: Giorgos, Chryssa, Vivi, Maria, Tony, Myrto, Yiannis, Konstantza and Vera!
