Drop-in Tactile Filmmaking Workshop

Drop-in Tactile Filmmaking Workshop

Join us for an exciting Drop-In Tactile Filmmaking Workshop inspired by our new exhibition Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema.

To celebrate the opening of our new exhibition Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema, join us for an exciting Tactile Filmmaking Workshop in the Academy Museum’s Tea Room. Drawing inspiration from early cinema techniques like hand painting frames and experimenting with animating directly on celluloid film (as seen in the Inventing Worlds and Characters: Animation gallery in our Stories of Cinema exhibition and the new Color in Motion exhibition), participants will create their own vibrant moving-image collages using simple materials like marker, tape, pushpins, paint, and ink. At the end of the workshop, the individual strips of film will be spliced together and screened through a 16mm film projector, bringing together a community-created and truly collaborative film.

Additional family-friendly activities include keychain making with celluloid film strips!
