Please join us for an evening of analogue solidarity!
This event is a fundraiser in aid of Sirkhane Darkroom a project teaching analogue film processes to displaced children living on the Syrian/Turkish border. We will be celebrating all kinds of lo-fi DIY image production.
This event is an open invite to the analogue community and all celluloid lovers to bring their own equipment and present their work as part of a programme including work by Asli Baykall, Raf Fellner, Rob Shuttleworth & Margaret Tait. Projections will take place simultaneously in the form of a moving image installation. We are accepting all analogue projection proposals, including:
- transparencies on lightboxes
- 8 mm, 16 mm, 35 mm projections
- 35 mm slide images for a shared carousel on a projector
The event takes place on 30 July at Cafe Oto in Hackney, London.
We aim to include all feasible proposals.
Participants will need to present for the set up & sound check at 5 pm, the event will then run between 8-11 pm. All participants will have free access to the event + 2 guestlist places.
We can offer goodwill and general support but we won’t be able to provide equipment, transport or specialised technical advice. You will need to be able to bring and operate your equipment yourself, all participants will be responsible for taking care of their own work.
We will also be accepting donations of 35 mm cameras and darkroom equipment to be sent to Turkey and Syria for the Sirkhane Darkroom programme. All profits from ticket sales will go towards supporting the project. To donate directly to Sirkhane click here.
This fundraiser has been organised by FIELDNOTES, a biannual arts journal, the latest issue features the work of filmmaker Margaret Tait alongside images produced by the children taking part in Sirkhane Darkroom programme.
This event has been inspired by the BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer) format. BYOB is an international movement of DIY one-night-exhibitions where artists collaborate and experiment on site to create an installation of moving image. BYOB was started by visual artist Rafael Rozedaal.
