With Jessica G.Z. and Jackie Forsyte of T.A.P.E. Los Angeles

Photochemical film developing doesn’t need to be toxic for the environment!
Join T.A.P.E. Los Angeles for a comprehensive introduction to shooting Super 8 film and processing your footage by hand using coffee, beer and plants! Learn what goes into alternative photo processing and dive into the exciting world of sustainable and accessible darkroom practices! This is multiple workshops in one, all equipment and materials provided, and all levels of experience with either filmmaking or photochemical developing are welcome.
This workshop will cover the ins and outs of common shared features between most Super 8 cameras, purchasing used cameras, using different film stocks, processing houses and hand processing options available to independent filmmakers.
Participants will shoot 2 cartridges of black and white Super 8 film and develop it by hand using coffee and herbal developers mixed together as a group. Everyone will receive a 2K scan of the results afterwards! Come join in on the fun of personal and experimental filmmaking on Super 8mm film!
