Handmade Films: A Cameraless Animation Workshop.
Workshop Facilitated by Joe and Kendra Minadeo of Bellows

Using 16mm film all-ages participants paint, draw and scratch into film to create moving art and animated images. The films will then be spliced together and edited into short loops that will be mixed live Friday October 7 at 6022 Broad Street, for the VIA festival after party with Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space).

Handmade Films workshop and Bellows’ VJ set on Friday, October 7 is presented by Pittsburgh Filmmakers.

Capturing and creating images from a variety of sources, Bellows (Joseph and Kendra Minadeo) merge the tactile histories of film and animation with current VJ software for live performances that blend elements of nostalgia, playfulness, and fantasy.

For VIA 2011, the visual content for Bellows’ VJ set will be created by you!

Participants of all-ages who attend their workshop “Handmade Films” on October 5 & 6 at Assemble Gallery and Pittsburgh Filmmakers will be able to scratch, draw, and paint onto 16mm film strips, which will then be digitized, and manipulated live during Bellows’ performance with Beats in Space (NYC) radio founder/DJ Tim Sweeney.

Don’t miss this fun opportunity to add your name and personal touch to VIA’s list of artists/contributors.
