The Wabi-Sabi in Super 8

• 2 days workshop in March or May 2018 in Berlin

“I see double: Double 8 and Double Super 8“
Experimental Film Development Workshop in my darkroom in Berlin-Kreuzberg!
Saturday and Sunday 11am - 6pm

Super 8 is caged in cassettes - Double Super 8 films are 16mm wide and are not packaged in cassettes but on 10m spools. The films run through the camera twice - as known from the standard 8-based double 8 - and is then cut lengthwise in the middle after film development and thus separated into two film strips of Super 8 format.

Of course you can also run the film more often through the camera and get double or multiple exposures!
Double 8 and Double Super 8 films are still freshly made by the Czech company FOMA.
I have different cameras which we can test and film with! You can take one home on Saturday ... on Sunday we will develop all the films together!

In Caffenol:
CAFFENOL consists of instant coffee, vitamin C powder and washing soda. All three you can easily buy at at Aldi, Lidl, Rossmann etc. Better buy the cheapest coffees, it's all about the caffeic acid in it: bad for the stomach, essential for developing! The soup can be flushed into the toilet after one-time use.
Coffee contains phenols, the small sisters of Hydrochinone, the main ingredient of many black-and-white developers.
Phenols are found in various plants and foods: coffee, tea, red wine, potatoes, black currant, mushrooms, vanilla, whiskey, tree bark, various flower blossoms ...
