Week 12.  Super 8mm, B&W, 2:40

This week's film was made possible by some of my incredibly talented filmmaking students. They shot black and white reversal Super 8 cartridges and then we attempted to hand-process the film in class. I duly warned them not to be too precious about the footage because with DIY processing of B&W reversal film success is not guaranteed, and there's a good chance you will have to say bye-bye to some of the images you were expecting to emerge from the celluloid. 

This is some of that footage. I find it mesmerizing and beautiful and asked for permission to try to make something out of it for This Week's Film. 

A very special thanks to Joji Baratelli, Nico Gordon, and Jared Press for allowing me to work with their footage.
