LABeirut Film Workshop

Lebanese filmmaker Siska and LaborBerlin members Michel Balagué and Philip Widmann will offer an intensive workshop on analog film practice at the Zico House from January 6th to 12th, 2012.

During the seven days of LABeirut, twelve participants will learn to operate Super 8 and 16mm film cameras, to expose different film stocks as well as to hand-process, edit and finally project their own films.

Prospective participants need no previous knowledge of working with analog film, although experience in camera-based visual practices – photography, video and film – will be an asset.

The first introductory meeting on January 6 will be followed by a public screening of works by various members of LaborBerlin e.V. at Zico House. On January 12 the films produced by the participants of LABeirut will be shown at Metropolis Cinema.

Thank You Note

A warm shout out goes to Linda Scobie in San Francisco who has donated over 100 Super 8 reels to LaborBerlin. Linda is a dedicated film worker and driving force behind many film endeavors in the Bay Area: she volunteers at Artists’ Television Access and Other Cinema, inspects films at Canyon Cinema, curates film programs, and of course, she makes her own d-i-y films! If you find yourself at a screening at ATA or Canyon, turn around, Linda is usually behind that perfect 16mm projection!

LaborBerlin + Antez

Film Anarchy

On occasion of the international meeting of film laboratories in Zagreb, LaborBerlin members Clara Bausch, Christopher Becks, Anja Dornieden, Juan David Gonzales Monroy, Leïla Saadna, Sylvia Schedelbauer and Iana Stefanova will travel to Croatia to represent our association. The trip is largely funded by the Goethe Institute Zagreb.

“Work on film is pure logic. It is interesting how many possibilities logic gives when you use it creatvily. Many film moments suprise us, impress us, spark our imagination. The film effects seem to open a door to surreal worlds, although they can be simply explained and do not stray far from the principals of using basic natural laws.

Filmlabs Meeting Zagreb 2011 is, as the title suggests, an international meeting of film laboratories. This year it will take place from 21. to 24. of September as a satellite event to the 25 FPS International Experimental Film and Video Festival, organised by Klubvizija SC (Culture of Change) of the Student Centre in Zagreb.

The small film laboratory Klubvizija SC invites all laboratories and film craftsmen who appreciate work on film to join the meeting with the goal of creating an open environment in which each attendant will learn to improve their laboratory and to arrive at complete independence. Guests from countries which still do not have their own independent laboratories can reap the most benefits; they may be inspired to set up their own laboratory where films will be produced which could innovate Cinematography to a degree we could not imagine. The entire program consists of round table discussions, film projections, installations and exchange of practical knowledge between all participants.”

See you in Zagreb!
