Filmverkstaden is proud to present to you a week with Dagie Brundert (DE).

Dagie has a growing reputation within the ecological film processing movement and we are very happy that she is coming to Finland to share her magnificent recipes with us.

There will be 2 workshops with Dagie, photo in Lapua and film in Vaasa, as part of Föreningsfestivalen 2016.
Sign up for one or both via mail.
Max. 8 participants. 50€ fee for materials per workshop.

I have been experimenting with alternatives to traditional developers that are harmful to the environment for some time. And I stumbled across CAFFENOL, a black and white negative developer! A lot of photographers have already tried it and there are various recipes and reports circulating on the Internet!

Caffenol consists of instant coffee, vitamin C powder and washing soda.
You can easily find the three of them around the corner for little money. Better buy the cheapest type of coffee, it contains the most caffeic acid which is bad for your stomach but essential for developing! Dispose the soup after use in the toilet.

What more is possible? Kitchen stuff like beer, wine, vodka, apple juice, flower tea, weed, moss, bark, mushroom soup. It smells interesting-alchemistic, it’s eco and it develops film as nicely as regular photo chemicals! We explore the local surroundings, collect herbs and water, boil some yummy soups, film and develop together!

A super 8 film cassette contains 3 minutes / 15 meter / 3660 images of film. We stroll outside and film a group film  – divide it according to the number of participants and later develop it in “personal” soups, stripewise, meterwise … in developers made from leaves, beer, coffee, tea, mushrooms, tree bark, berries ….. whatever we find on our paths!
