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!

Project made possible in part by the City of Vancouver Neighbourhood Matching Grant and Cineworks.

It’s May and everything is in bloom so this week we’re celebrating Cinema Organica, EPFC’s Super 8 workshop series that invites participants of all-ages to make films in/about community gardens and process the film using fruit, leaves and flowers from the garden itself! This image is from a session with the amazing Global Girls GLOW back in 2017 at La Tierra de la Culebra in Highland Park, CA.

Cinematic goodies galore and a whole lot more! See you there!
