[Frameworks] Double-8 camera ---> 16mm projection

[Sandy McLennan]

I currently make and screen work in Double 8 and Regular 8 and have  given workshops in the format through LIFT (Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto), The8fest and Images Festival (in person and online). Send me email and we’ll see how I can help the student.

These here are great titles/ideas/resources. During the early pandemic I received a Canada Council for the Arts grant to create an optical printer with a Bolex H8 camera and both a Regular 8 and 16mm projector (could not have been made without knowledge, help and hardware/software from Matt McWilliams). It is working and is a tool to be explored.

It's a scene of a naked girl and a dog, satifying at the beginning a sort of voyeuristic pleasure, becoming more and more de-structurated. The soundtrack works in reverse, becoming at the end competely recognozible: Vivaldi's 4 seasons.

Maybe it's someone on this list. One of my students is considering shooting and would like to see examples. Please, help me find her/him if you know who I'm talking about, or else, if you know films that can be watched on the internet using this format in this unorthodox way. Thank you!
