Why use toxic chemistry to develop your Super 8, 16mm or 35mm film when you can get fantastic results without harming Mother Earth? Join us in the EPFC North Kitchen as we cook up some tasty analog film processing experiments using non-toxic ingredients from the pantry, park, farmer’s market, garden and grocery store. Each month we’ll develop half a roll of black & white film with caffenol and the other half in a fresh seasonal soup… Recipes and supplies list provided prior to the workshop for those who want to process along in real time! This month: cabbage! Free even; all welcome. Sign up here: http://www.archive.echoparkfilmcenter.org/events/cine-cooks-an-online-and-in-person-eco-processing-workshop-2/

This Week at EPFC North: breathing room + Love Ya and Leaf Ya

EPFC | October 2nd, 2021

Culminating Event (In Person Outdoors at Mim’s Farm): breathing room residency culminating event with artist in residence Wendel Vistan Saturday, October 2
6 – 8:30 PM
Come on down to the farm as Wendel Vistan presents a new eco-processed super 8 film created during her time as the very first breathing room artist in residence. breathing room is a new artist residency program from EPFC North and IRIS Film Collective that reimagines the artist residency as a fluid space for collaboration, experimentation, relaxation, and community connection. Wendel explored analog film technologies in telling a story of Mim’s Farm, a special place that “holds a space for conversations about the local histories of the area surrounding the Big Bend [of South Burnaby] and the Chinese migrants who farm on the land.” Mim’s Farm is located at 6137 10th Ave, Burnaby. The location is accessible by transit: get off the 22nd stop on the Expo Line and can ride the 100 bus from there or walk/bike 10-15 mins.

Workshop (In Person at Moberly Fieldhouse): LOVE YA AND LEAF YA
Sunday, October 3

As summer slides into autumn, we look to the leaves on the trees around us at Moberly Fieldhouse us for inspiration as they gracefully change with the seasons… Come on by for a relaxed afternoon of phytograms, printmaking, direct animation and warm conversation. Free event! All Welcome!
