In collaboration with Xcèntric, l'Alternativa, Barcelona Independent Film Festival, presents this workshop by Adriana Vila Guevara invites participants to meet a series of nameless ghosts from the past as part of a voyeuristic exorcism that explores the line between preserving the past and creating anew. Found footage is plundered to create an extrasensory conversion of the remnants of other lives, an appropriating ceremony combining contemplation, reinvention and hands-on filmmaking.
After a reflective introduction and debate on these issues, this eminently practical workshop gets participants to question the artistic value and potential of found footage of super-8 and 16 mm home movies. We'll carry out a process of conceptual and formal analysis of a series of found reels of these film formats and then create a piece of expanded cinema using multiple projectors to preserve the original material while at the same time giving free rein to a range of forms of collective intervention.
