Instructor: Interbay Cinema Society
Date: September 20th and 21st, 2025
Time: 10AM - 3PM PST
This hands-on workshop is an introduction to the art of cyanotype – paper, fabric, and above all celluloid film. Participants will create their own sunlit still and moving images.
In pairs and small groups, participants will coat film with cyanotype emulsion, experiment with different textures, exposure times, and tinting with plants/herbs. Participants will splice celluloid film, thread 16mm film projectors and bring their films to light.
Participants will be invited to notice, observe and trace a unique eco-vision. The workshop will culminate in a World Premiere of 16mm films in a NWFF Theater!
16mm cyanotype films will be professionally scanned at Lightpress. The digital transfer will become available online and a high resolution file will be made available for anyone who wants it.
No previous experience necessary. Those with previous experience creating cyanotypes are welcome.
All materials are included.
All workshops have a suggested registration fee of $150, however we do offer a sliding scale, pay-what-you-can model for those who need that option.
