[Frameworks] info on hand-processing colour film needed

[Veronica Ibarra]

Hi!
I hand-process my own B&W 16mm film and would like to do the same with colour, 
reversal or neg. I use a Lomo tank.

Could anyone tell me how to do it? chemicals needed, times, temperatures, etc?
Or maybe someone knows where I could get this information?

Thank you

Best
Veronica

Subject: [Frameworks] experimental documentary (thank you)

 
Hello all,
 
Thanks to everyone for so many excellent and thought provoking recommendations. 
 Some of them were already on my radar but many others had either slipped my 
mind or were completely unknown to me.
 
Thanks in particular to Amanda, Dan, Robert, Dinorah, Jeanne, Ken, Matt, Mike, 
Jason, Carl, Sonali, David, Ted, Elizabeth, Mads, Greg, James, Shane, Jeff, 
Beverly, Manuele, Rory and Rob (whew!).
 
Special thanks to Marilyn, Jason and Rory for prodding me to focus my thoughts a 
bit more as I begin to shape the syllabus for the course.
 
In response to their comments a little context is probably in order:
 
The class I will be teaching this fall is called Film Documentary.  Based on 
past experience with the student body I suspect that the vast majority of my 
students have an idea of documentary that does not go very far beyond Ken Burns 
and Michael Moore.  Its within this context that I decided that I would teach an 
"experimental documentary" course in order to challenge these sorts of 
preconceptions.  In any case when I posted my initial query to Frameworks I 
deliberately left the terminology undefined so as to cast as wide a net as 
possible in the hopes that I would get a range of responses (it seemed to have 
worked). I assumed correctly that many responses would point me in directions 
that I might not have anticipated.  At the same time I included the names of 
certain film and video makers in order to provide some sense of what I meant by 
"experimental."  The point was to provide some context without closing off 
potential avenues.
 
Marilyn wondered about the purpose of the course.  One of the major areas of 
focus for this class will be, as Marilyn put it, on "self-reflexive 
documentaries that are honest, also, about their subjectivity.”  Rather than a 
history of such films I intend to design the course as an introduction to these 
kinds of films (and videos) with no attempt to be exhaustive or definitive.  In 
this spirit, the discussions around terminology (“experimental” and 
“documentary”) will be integrated into the course with as little doctrinaire 
fanfare as possible.
 
Jason, I wholeheartedly agree that there are no clear boundaries between 
Narrative, Documentary and Experimental film.  I intend to design the course in 
such way that the content and spirit of the course convey this lack of 
definitive boundaries.
 
Rory, Documentary Film is a theory course however I have recently begun to fold 
optional production assignments into my theory courses and I intend to do the 
same with my “experimental” version of the this class.  How exactly I will do 
this has yet to be determined.  I am not sure how much experience with hands on 
processes.  Certainly the discussion around terminology and processes will have 
to be placed within an historical context.
 
Again, thanks to all the very helpful feedback.
 
Best,
 
CH
