The Ras G music festival was held in Leimert Park on August 10, 2019 as a loving tribute to community champion, musical genius, and visionary Gregory Shroter — aka Ras G. The Super 8 film was eco-processed by hand with flowers, coffee, and berbere at the Echo Park Film Center by the Director.
We’re embarking on an exciting community filmmaking project and you’re invited!
The Sound We See:
A South Vancouver
Community Film Project
Calling all South Vancouver residents and stakeholders!
Join us for The Sound We See: A South Vancouver Community Film Project!
Working collaboratively with support from project facilitators and partner organizations, participants will create a 24-minute film spanning 24 hours in South Vancouver in which each hour of the day is condensed into 1 minute on screen.
Through discussions, screenings and hands-on film/video skills-building workshops, participants will plan, film, process (using traditional and eco-friendly chemistry created from local plants, fruit and flowers), edit, score (in conjunction with local musicians), and exhibit The Sound We See: A South Vancouver Community Symphony.
Find out more at the fun orientation session on August 8, 1 – 5 pm, where we’ll show some examples from past experience, discuss local history, landmarks and issues, and start learning about Super 8 camera mechanics and hand processing. All ages welcome! No prior filmmaking experience necessary!
Every Saturday afternoon in August, 1 – 5 pm, we’ll host free Super 8 cinematography, film processing and editing sessions at the EPFC North Fieldhouse in Moberly Park, sharing and discussing the footage as our film comes together.
Saturday nights at 8 pm, we’ll show previous Sound We See films from around the world… The Sound We See: South Vancouver will be #21 in this renowned international series!
