With a focus on experimental film, the participants would make short experimental films from pre-existing, digitalized 'found' footage by experimenting with montage and storytelling strategies. Participants would engage with a brief history of structural film, various found footage filmmaking practices, and examples of experimental moving image works. By using their own collections of found footage, poems and self-produced footage, participants can individually and collectively make their own films. Participants get a chance to volunteer at Experimenta, the international biennial of Moving Image Art, in India, Bangalore. Through this project, participants can explore the boundaries of film and push the medium in new and unexplored ways.
