Rosenkohlfilm / Brussel Sprout Film

My friend Judith visited me and on a wine-fuelled evening, we came up with a crazy film idea involving Brussels sprouts… developed in Brussels sprout juice, of course.
The background is this: every year at the Hamburg Short Film Festival, there is a category called ‘Flotter Dreier’ (Threesome): films up to 3 minutes long on a specific theme. The theme this year is ‘3’.
Our Brussels sprouts film is called “3 Leute, die 3 Minuten auf TriX 3 Mal Rosenkohl verfilmen” / “3 people filming Brussels sprouts 3 times in 3 minutes on TriX”. Total nonsense but lots of fun. At the moment the film is being digitized. Coming later … watch out!

A nonsense film, perhaps.
This Super 8 cassette (Kodak Plus-X) lay forgotten in my possession for 15 years until I developed it. That’s why the film is so faded, damaged and knackered!

Kodachrome & Prosecco and some other yummy soups!
The story continues … Yesterday I tried Prosecco! The result is good but less orange-ish!
Watch these gifs (bad resolution, sorry, better coming later)!

(The original Kodachrome negative is yellow / orange … then I digitized it with my fancy Sumikon machine and flipped it over to positive / complementary colour: blue!)
In conclusion, I can say: You can expose Kodachrome film (make sure it’s relatively fresh, don’t use any from the 70s or early 80s!) to plenty of sunlight, and then you’ll have a chance of getting some good pictures.
And then you can bathe it in different developers: ‘normal’ chemicals or Caffenol or all kinds of juices / teas, the result will always be more or less yellowish to bright orange!

From “Ode an Juni 13”: “Making jam made me think of an early childhood memory: great-grandma, skinny, old and dark, standing in the doorway of a dark house, smelling warm and like … marmelade!”

I realize that I love drawing. Spontaneously and without thinking. I shall do it more. Drawing film maybe. Watch out!
