Super 8 Filmmaking & Eco Processing — 2-Day Workshop

Step back into the world of analog filmmaking with the Creston Valley Film Society's Super 8 Filmmaking & Eco Processing Workshop.

This free, two-day hands-on workshop introduces participants to the art of shooting with Super 8 film and the fascinating process of developing black-and-white film using an environmentally conscious coffee/plant-based solution.

No previous filmmaking experience is required, and all equipment will be provided. The workshop is open to all ages, making it a great opportunity for anyone curious about traditional filmmaking, film processing, or experimenting with a completely different way of creating moving images.

Workshop Schedule:

September 11 | 6:00–9:00 PM — Creston Valley Public Library
September 12 | 12:00–6:00 PM — ArtSpace

Cost: FREE

Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
