The Academy Museum hosts a Drop-In Tactile Filmmaking Workshop inspired by its new exhibition Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema.

Drawing inspiration from early cinema techniques like hand painting frames and experimenting with animating directly on celluloid film, participants create their own vibrant moving-image collages using simple materials like marker, tape, pushpins, paint, and ink.

At the end of the workshop, the individual strips of film are spliced together and screened through a 16mm film projector, bringing together a community-created and truly collaborative film.

Additional family-friendly activities include keychain making with celluloid film strips.

Schedule:
10:30am - 2:30pm:Tactile Filmmaking Workshop

3pm: Screening of the finished film

This event is held in the Academy Museum’s Tea Room.

All workshops are free with museum admission and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Museum admission is free for youths ages 17 and under.
