Join us for a day-long celebration as we pay homage to the remarkable 100-year journey of 16mm film in the quirky and gothic surrounds of St John's Crypt, nestled in the heart of Bristol.

*LOADING 16MM FILM WORKSHOP**
From the European New Wave to the counter culture documentaries of North American Direct Cinema, this filmmaking required portable camera equipment that was designed for hand-held use. In this workshop join John Podpadec, Senior Lecturer in Filmmaking at UWE, to learn about the range of 16mm cameras that changed filmmaking, how to load them with film and how to operate them. We will explore the clockwork Bolex, the Canon Scoopic, a range of Arriflex reflex cameras and the Aaton LTR54 (the darling of documentary film).

This workshop is 1hr long.

100 Years of 16mm is part of Bristol UNESCO City of Film’s Summer Film Takeover. It is produced by Compass Presents as part of Cinema Rediscovered Festival. As part of 100 Years of 16mm there are also screenings and workshops available. Please see other listings to secure your ticket.
