Old Ladies Filming – Premiere

Last Friday: Opening of the exhibition in the Bochum Kunstmuseum / Art Museum! “Das öffentliche Grün”.
Of course I was there to celebrate the premiere of our little film with the lovely senior ladies and my two awesome colleagues!

First we met at the senior home for a private film premiere … then it was time to go to the museum. Great exhibition … and I must say I am quite proud to be part of it. And what really touched my heart is … how proud the seniors were, how happy to have made this short film together with me … dancing in the cold spring rain and developing the film in a fruity potion!

The film is now online on Vimeo!

The Film-Arche (Ark)

The filmArche is Europe’s first self-organised film school and a non-profit association based in Berlin-Neukölln. Over 200 filmmakers meet here regularly to further their education and make films together.

The film school provides facilities and resources for a comprehensive three-year course across six specialisms: screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, production and documentary filmmaking. Upon starting the first semester, students automatically become members of the association.

The filmArche is mainly self-funded through membership fees.

And I was running a Super 8 workshop last Saturday and Sunday! Filming and eco developing in experimental soups made from veggies and fruit!

Here are a few photos! We had the finest (Kodachrome) weather and developed one group film, a rather fresh Kodachrome (“to be developed until 2004”) in Caffenol: beautiful crisp orange images! (Flipped over to positive: complementary colour = blue!). The next day was cloudy … no problem for the greatest b&w films on the market: TriX from Kodak and UN54 from German Wolfen!! 3 more films, developed in a wonderful yummy veggie and fruit soup!
