Children and parents can explore experimental filmmaking in this hands-on, analog workshop. Learn how to create beautiful, handcrafted motion graphics on 16mm film without any cameras or computers, and watch the results projected right away! Direct animation is an analog fine art offering experiential liberation from increasingly digital visual cultures. In this workshop, participants will scratch, draw with sharpie markers and collage directly onto film leaders to create unique effects. Parents/guardians are welcome to attend with children at no additional cost; youth under 12 must be accompanied.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:
Since 1989 Devon Damonte has made, taught, and shown handcrafted cameraless direct animation hither and yon, including: REDCat Theater at Disney Hall in LA; New York Film Festival Views from the Avant Garde; Ottawa International Animation Festival; Pacific Film Archive at Berkeley Art Museum; Quickdraw Animation Society in Calgary; and McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Devon is featured in recent books The Animation Bible by Maureen Furniss, and Experimental Filmmaking: Break The Machine, by Kathryn Ramey. Damonte is currently adjunct faculty at Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA teaching a summer Visual Music 16mm & 35mm direct animation intensive, also a ringleader of the Crackpot Crafters collective, and believes we are now all smack dab in the Golden Age of Adhesive Tape.
Jackie Argo is a Latina multimedia experimental artist, poet, filmmaker and musician currently living in Seattle. She enjoys experimenting with analog and digital techniques and has created music videos for independent bands.
