Hi!
I hand-process my own B&W 16mm film and would like to do the same with colour,
reversal or neg. I use a Lomo tank.
Could anyone tell me how to do it? chemicals needed, times, temperatures, etc?
Or maybe someone knows where I could get this information?
Thank you
Best
Veronica

Christopher,
Thank you for the kind response. I hope you are able to incorporate everything
you hope to.
Keep us updated!
Cheers,
Rory
PS: If you are looking to incorporate some interesting portraits, docudrama,
and "self-reflexive" films (as Marilyn had said)...
Grey Gardens: Albert & David Maysles
Sherman's March: Ross McElwee
War: Jake Mahaffy
Chain: Jem Cohen
and for fun...
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters: Seth Gordon

Subject: [Frameworks] experimental documentary (thank you)
Hello all,
Thanks to everyone for so many excellent and thought provoking recommendations.
Some of them were already on my radar but many others had either slipped my
mind or were completely unknown to me.
Thanks in particular to Amanda, Dan, Robert, Dinorah, Jeanne, Ken, Matt, Mike,
Jason, Carl, Sonali, David, Ted, Elizabeth, Mads, Greg, James, Shane, Jeff,
Beverly, Manuele, Rory and Rob (whew!).
Special thanks to Marilyn, Jason and Rory for prodding me to focus my thoughts a
bit more as I begin to shape the syllabus for the course.
In response to their comments a little context is probably in order:
The class I will be teaching this fall is called Film Documentary. Based on
past experience with the student body I suspect that the vast majority of my
students have an idea of documentary that does not go very far beyond Ken Burns
and Michael Moore. Its within this context that I decided that I would teach an
"experimental documentary" course in order to challenge these sorts of
preconceptions. In any case when I posted my initial query to Frameworks I
deliberately left the terminology undefined so as to cast as wide a net as
possible in the hopes that I would get a range of responses (it seemed to have
worked). I assumed correctly that many responses would point me in directions
that I might not have anticipated. At the same time I included the names of
certain film and video makers in order to provide some sense of what I meant by
"experimental." The point was to provide some context without closing off
potential avenues.
Marilyn wondered about the purpose of the course. One of the major areas of
focus for this class will be, as Marilyn put it, on "self-reflexive
documentaries that are honest, also, about their subjectivity.” Rather than a
history of such films I intend to design the course as an introduction to these
kinds of films (and videos) with no attempt to be exhaustive or definitive. In
this spirit, the discussions around terminology (“experimental” and
“documentary”) will be integrated into the course with as little doctrinaire
fanfare as possible.
Jason, I wholeheartedly agree that there are no clear boundaries between
Narrative, Documentary and Experimental film. I intend to design the course in
such way that the content and spirit of the course convey this lack of
definitive boundaries.
Rory, Documentary Film is a theory course however I have recently begun to fold
optional production assignments into my theory courses and I intend to do the
same with my “experimental” version of the this class. How exactly I will do
this has yet to be determined. I am not sure how much experience with hands on
processes. Certainly the discussion around terminology and processes will have
to be placed within an historical context.
Again, thanks to all the very helpful feedback.
Best,
CH
