Direct Action Filmmaking

The ‘instant’, readily available bright pictures of today’s cinema rely on hi tech gadgets and sometimes lack the mystery and aura that the ‘hand drawn’ possesses. This workshop, run by film-maker Vicky Smith, invites participants to mark film using the full physical body. This method joins the human pulse to the beat of the film to generate distinctive patterns and rhythms and you can make intense vibrant colours and bold kinetic scratches.
