EPFC North is excited to be working with Daniela Rodríguez and Dora Prieto to present an exciting new youth program!
Calling all self-identifying Latinx/Latine youth (ages 15-18), and those that don’t identify as Latinx but have a connection and heritage to the lands known as Latinoamérica, and who reside within the greater Vancouver area, on the unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
El Mash Up is for you!!!
The Project: In the late Spring of 2021 (May/June), we will be giving a hybrid creative writing + media arts workshop for self-identifying Latinx youth. In order to make this the most interesting for the participants (as in, you!) we want to get some of your feedback first. The flow of ideas is a two-way street.

Workshop: Intro to Super 8

Learn to shoot and hand-process Super 8 film with friends during our Intro to Super 8 Filmmaking workshop. This class will cover camera mechanics, cinematography, hand-processing and editing. At the end of four hours, we’ll enjoy the world premiere of our collaborative experimental documentary film set right here at Moberly Park. Free event! Everyone welcome!
*Please Note: Physical distancing safety protocols are in effect for all EPFC North Moberly Fieldhouse events. Workshop activities and screenings will take place outdoors with 2-meter spacing required between individuals. Please bring a mask; we will have some on hand if you forget. Disposable vinyl gloves and hand sanitizer provided. We are unable to serve refreshments so please provide your own snack if you’d like something to eat or drink during the workshop. Thanks for your cooperation in helping to keep everyone healthy!
Theme: Tonal Contrast
We’re looking at films that explore contrast in the several ways we can interpret the word “tone” – sound, color, and mood – both in each individual piece and how they contrast with each other.
Today’s first pairing is “Blue Movie” by Michael Morris (2016) and “Liquidator” by Karel Doing (2010). Both manipulate archival footage and use monochromatic palettes, but the end results span from romantic to sinister, vibrant to desaturated, and rounded to sharp. See for yourself and tell us how you think these two films work (or don’t) together!
This week we celebrate our Echo Park Film Center’s Amazing Elders with an image of one of EPFC’s very first Seniors Filmmaking Workshops, facilitated by EPFC Co-Founder Ken Fountain (far right). Yes, that is a Dennis Kucinich For President T-shirt and yes, Ellen is still fighting for people’s politics and social justice!
