19.01.2022 Optical Printer Workshop next Sunday March 3! Details below: Sunday March 3, 11am AFW, 2 Kerr St, Fitzroy $40 (or $20 for AFW members)... The optical printer is one of the key elements of experimental filmmaking. These powerful tools allow you to manipulate your film images in myriad complex and exciting ways. You can re-frame your images, change their time base, create freeze frames and zooms, multiply expose your images, bi-pack your images together, use mattes to create complex composite images, change image colours, etc., etc.. Come to AFW for a one day introductory workshop into how to begin your journey exploring what the optical printer can do, starting with the basics: - load the projector with the material to be printed - load the print camera - mount the camera - adjust the magnification and focus of the print camera - adjust the step rate for both projector and camera - adjust the exposure - expose the print film Bookings essential.

03.01.2022 Liquid Architecture and Artist Film Workshop welcome Glasgow based artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler to Melbourne for a one-off screening and performance. Fowler's work explores the limits and conventions of biographical and documentary filmmaking, and has often been compared to the British Free Cinema of the 1950s. Working with archival footage, photography and sound, Fowlers filmic montages create portraits of intriguing, counter cultural figures, including Scotti...Continue reading

03.01.2022 So sad that Dave Thomas has passed away. We're so grateful for all the support he gave us screening our films at MIFF over the years. We deeply admire his lifelong passion and commitment to politics and unionism, films and their exhibition. It was always so nice to have a chat over drinks and smokes with Dave pre- and post-MIFF, and in-between and elsewhere...hearing his thoughts and stories on the many films he'd seen and screened, how his garden was coming along, his travel...s in India, especially Kerala, and his political activism across the decades. He was a sensitive, generous and principled man. The last time I ran into Dave, he stopped for a smoke outside the Capitol with a trolley full of 35mm film print trunks from that evening's Melbourne Cinémathèque screenings to take back to the ACMI bio box. Thank you Dave, we'll miss you. Audrey Lam, on behalf of the Artist Film Workshop.

02.01.2022 Artist Film Workshop will be the subject of a program organised by the Austrian Film Museum, titled A Collected Gaze: Australian Handmade Experimental Film 1967-2018.' From the AFM: 'Australian experimental cinema contains many histories. One persistent storyline involves the use of the film medium as a tool to enlarge and enhance the viewer's perception. Another considers the recurrence of co-operative forms in an art practice marked by collectivism and collaboration. Yet another story relays artists' responses to the environment as a subject, protagonist and idea. These threads combine in the three programs of "A Collected Gaze"'. Curated by Danni Zuvela. Films by: Hanna Chetwin, Giles Fielke, Paddy Hay, Louis Marlo, Lucas Haynes, Audrey Lam, Sabina Maselli, Callum Thomson, Richard Tuohy, James Waters

02.01.2022 Tonight 7:30! Rare, recent experimental films from New York City!
