Baltic Analog Lab invites you to a creative 16mm film contact printing workshop with Yago Alcover from Crater Lab in Spain.The aim of this two-day workshop is to learn the basic concepts of experimental printing on 16mm and operating functions of the Geyer contact printer.

Students will attend to demonstrations on how to operate a 16mm contact printer, the creative and technical possibilities on B&W and Color priting and will have time to experiment on the creation of loops on their own in order to generate future material for Expanded Cinema performances and/or installative works.

Students will also learn and practice lab experimental techniques with three different developing processes: D19 on B&W Print Film, ECP on Color Print Film and will test Solarization Techniques on both B&W and Color.

Yago Alcover (Barcelona, 1984) is a filmmaker, teacher, researcher, and musician. He is currently developing his doctoral thesis at Pompeu Fabra University, focusing on research through contemporary analog film practices. He has been a member of the Board of Directors of Crater-Lab since 2019, a laboratory for independent film creation, production, experimentation, and screening, self-managed by artists and filmmakers. Its goal is to promote the production of artisanal cinema on film, focusing on generating the material bases for creating and experimenting in all its processes (filming, developing, copying, animation, visual intervention, projection, etc.). In addition to his film career, Yago is also a musician in the Spanish rock band Mujeres.
