[Frameworks] query for those who teach filmmaking

[Pip Chodorov]

I am teaching at Dongguk University in Seoul now. I brought over 
eight super-8 cameras and all the raw products needed to mix together 
B&W reversal chemicals, 60 rolls of Tri-X, a few viewers and 
splicers. The school switched to digital five years ago, but they 
still have a couple of Arriflexes in reserve. The freshman students 
seem really happy running around with the Nizos, working in the 
darkroom, projecting their rushes each week and cutting with scissors 
and tape.
The school provided $600 which covered one roll of film per student. 
Each student paid $8 for darkroom costs for the semester, and they 
can buy extra rolls of film for $12 a roll.
I think this is a cheaper solution that really teaches the basics of 
filmmaking in a very sensible and direct way that will inform them 
handily for the rest of their careers.
