EXPERIMENTAL SERIES: FLIX RE-MIX – FOUND FOOTAGE FILMMAKING

SAT, FEB 25 / 12 - 5:30pm
SUN, FEB 26 / 10am - 1:30pm

Location: Winnipeg Film Group
Registration Fee: 75 – 105
Instructor: Craig Baldwin

Craig Baldwin (San Francisco) will mix it up with local artists in a found footage workshop. This hands-on class will introduce people to the Found Footage Film. Learn how to view, select, cut, edit and post-produce (with sound).

On Saturday, you will be introduced to this fascinating genre through screenings and discussion and later, working alone or collaboratively, everyone will begin assembling a scene or short film collage by engaging with real 16mm celluloid film material (provided).

On Sunday, each participant will have 3 extra hours to complete the work they started the day previous and during clean-up will watch their new works and receive feedback.

The intention of the workshop is to finish all compilations in class, but if you don’t quite finish, not to worry! You will have access to the equipment at the Winnipeg Film Group production space for FREE for FIVE DAYS after class (Mon-Fri 10:30a-5:30p, no exceptions) to complete your work.

For more information on workshops, please contact the Training & Community Programs Coordinator at 925-3450 or darcy@winnipegfilmgroup.com

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Underground San Francisco filmmaker Craig Baldwin is a pioneering found footage artist working in the field of collage and appropriated imagery.  Using scenes from mass media, pop culture, and educational films he creates fantastic satirical gems which break down the barrier of traditional cinema. They range from his classic on culture jamming and copyright, Sonic Outlaws to his masterpiece, a revisionist history of alien intervention in Latin America, Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America.  His radical works are a challenge to copyright law. A multi award winner at festivals from Ann Arbor to Oberhausen his films have played at festivals around the world from Mexico City to Paris from Finland to Australia. He also programs an alternative weekly series in San Francisco called OTHER CINEMA. Although he has only created a few films, they are notable for their complexity and sophisticated use of imagery and editing.
