*Number of participants: strictly limited to 10*

Philip Hoffman has been developing a hands-on, artisanal approach to
filmmaking for more than 20 years in Canada at his summer workshop, the
`Independent Imaging Retreat’ or *`Film Farm’
<http://www.philiphoffman.ca/filmfarm/index.htm>.* Now this
process-oriented workshop comes to the UK with a 2-day intensive project,
‘the Lux Film Farm’ hosted by Lux and the Double Negative Dark Room in
proximity to the Hackney Marshes in East London.

The workshop is designed for independent filmmakers interested in
experimenting with the medium of film. Participants will learn to shoot
with 16mm Bolex cameras and hand-process. Tinting and toning, solarisation
and contact printing will also be covered. The films will then be
transferred into a digital environment and the two-day project will
culminate in a screening of the work produced during the workshop.

A screening celebrating the 20th anniversary of Film Farm featuring films
by Philip Hoffman and others will take place at LUX on Thursday 18 June
(this screening will be free for workshop participants).

Located in a former dairy farm, the *Double Negative Dark Room*
<http://dndr.org.uk/> is an independent photographic community and lab at
walking distance from the Hackney Marshes, where most of the workshop will
be based. For over a century, and as London grew into an industrial city,
the Hackney Marshes have provided an ecological lifeline between city and
countryside. By relocating to the Hackney Marshes, the Lux Film Farm aims
to preserve the rural spirit and character of Philip Hoffman’s Film Farm in
Canada. British 16mm artist *Bea Haut* <http://beahaut.com/about/> will
co-tutor the workshop with Philip Hoffman.

*About Philip Hoffman and the Film Farm:*

A film artist of memory and association, Philip Hoffman has long been
recognized as Canada’s pre-eminent diary and landscape filmmaker. He
apprenticed in Europe with Peter Greenaway in 1985, on the set of *Zed and
Two Noughts* and made* ?O,Zoo! (The Making of a Fiction Film) (1985).  *In
2001 the Images Festival in Toronto launched *Landscape with Shipwreck:
First Person Cinema and the Films of Philip Hoffman*, comprising some 25
essays by academics and artists. In 2002 he received the Golden Gate Award
from the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Gus Van Sant
Award from the Ann Arbor Film Festival for *What these ashes wanted* a
diaristic meditation on loss and grief.  His research into the history of
the land in Southern Ontario began in 2009 with the feature-length
experimental documentary, *All Fall Down, *a reflection on childhood,
property, ecology and love. In 2014, Hoffman completed two films:
*Slaughterhouse
(*based on a 2013 installation in the exhibition “Landslide: Possible
Futures” at the Markham Museum in Ontario), and *Aged,* have been awarded
at the Black Maria Festival in New Jersey and the Onion City Film Festival
in Chicago. He is the artistic director of the Independent Imaging Retreat
(Film Farm) and currently teaches film at York University.

The *Lux Film Farm* takes place during the weekend of celebrations around
the 10th anniversary of *no.w.here* <http://www.no-w-here.org.uk/>.
<http://www.no-w-here.org.uk/> A conversation between Philip Hoffman and
James Holcombe will be published on the LUX website to mark the
anniversaries of both organisations. no.w.here will present its anniversary
party “*no.we.are 10”* at The Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club on Saturday
20th June.

Professional Practice is a series of LUX talks, seminars and courses
exploring practical issues for artists working with the moving image.
