I'm leading a workshop at PS122 Gallery this Sunday as part of the
project SUMMER SCHOOL (full information below). It's intended for
hand processing novices (including myself) so feel free to come by or
pass along to students and other interested parties.
best,

Uneven Development on Super-8 / Benj Gerdes
In this teach-in we will explore how to make a film about a structure
that is not
fully visible. We will shoot, process, and screen a group-authored
super-8 film
all in one afternoon. The workshop and film will address predatory
real estate
development in the neighborhood around PS122. Super-8mm film will
serve as
a method of accessing a prior historical moment in the same
neighborhood.
Results may vary.
FREE and open to the public.
