  2. Shoot Film – Participants will have access to Super 8 cameras, lights, tripods, and rigging as well as technical assistance.
  3. Process Film – Black & White film can be hand-processed at Struts & Faucet or sent to a film lab for processing at $26 per cartridge. The deadline for lab processing of film is July 1st.
  4. Film Screening – This fabulous event will take place on August 1st.

Cost*

Black & white film is $40 per cartridge

Lab processing cost is an additional $26 per roll
*it’s also possible to process the film yourself, pay $20 for 16mm film instead of Super 8, or learn to make your own emulsion! Email Todd Fraser at faucet@strutsgallery.ca to learn more about any of these options. 

Workshops
At the beginning of June Struts & Faucet will begin to host a series of weekly workshops leading up the Super 8 Hotel Film Festival screening. These will range from specific skill development workshops to informal darkroom hours. They may include hand processing film, splicing, digitizing, making prints or blow ups, animating on film, making motion picture cyanotype film, and handmade emulsions!
