Tips & Tricks

A two-day creative 16mm film workshop with BAL director Ieva Balode provides an opportunity to learn 16mm film shooting and processing using creative techniques.
The focus of the workshop will be on learning the Bolex camera using its specific features - double exposures as well as other Bolex camera tricks.
The aim of the workshop is to learn creative techniques when filming with a 16mm film camera, thinking about unusual in-camera editing tricks, light manipulation, as well as playing with camera lenses. We will also put a high emphasis on some alternative development tricks and effects, using techniques such as Mordançage and Chemigram, which act on film emulsion to create artistic, watercolor-like effects.
