Expanded Cinema: Apparatus & Methodology
Practical workshop with Alex MacKenzie

In this workshop, experimental film-maker Alex MacKenzie will present a closer look at the engine of expanded cinema: the projector. Participants will explore how to work with 16mm projectors to expand their potential and alter their function. Examination of the various elements of projection - light, lens, focal plane, film gate, speed, shutter, motor, bulb, and screen will all be explored with live examples and a hands-on approach. The work of contemporary media artists Bruce Mclure, Presstapes (Luis Recoder/Sandra Gibson), Wetgate, and others will be discussed. Participants will be given the opportunity to try out various techniques, and will leave with a better understanding of how these elements work both separately and in tandem, as well as with a demystification of the primary instrument of the motion picture. 12 places maximum - please email paul@cubecinema.com to book a place.
