Long live experimental everything: an interview with Julie Murray

"The main character is landscape. Right from the start, I believed landscape would allow me to understand other thing—community, exploitation, defense. In any given territory, what you can see, what you can photograph, tells you quite a lot about what happens there: that which survived, that which did not survive, that which was removed, the empty space that exists now—all of it speaks and tells many things."
Elena Pardo on her expanded cinema performance Pulsos Subterraneos

We're so lucky to have Richard Tuohy here in Montreal this month all the way from Australia. Along with a couple of not-to-miss screenings with VISIONS, he will be offering a special workshop on contact printing with colour film at Main Film on May 20-21.

If you have ever shot camera negative and wanted to be able to continue your creative work on film (rather than scanning to digital) then this is a great workshop to start that process.
You will learn to make and hand-process colour-timed positive prints from your negatives.
