[Workshop] 16mm direct animation and projection

Artist Lynn Loo's workshop treats a strip of 16mm celluloid as the working surface, with no camera involved at any point. You spend the session making marks directly on the film, stripping away emulsion and reworking found footage until the images underneath are altered or interrupted.

The second half turns to the projector as an instrument — the thing that builds rhythm, flicker and repetition out of a run of still frames. You learn to splice strips of 16mm and lace them through a projector, then experiment with running two or more at once so images layer and overlap on a screen or around the space. The session runs in a set order: an introduction to cameraless experimental filmmaking, work with leader and found footage, splicing, lacing the projector, then expanded cinema techniques. No prior experience is needed; experimenting and playing with the material is the point, and it's a seated programme throughout.

It happens on Saturday 7 November 2026 at the Singapore Art Museum's Corporate Office and Residency Studios, 39 Keppel Rd, #03-07. Tickets are S$50 and cover the workshop only — exhibition entry is charged separately and can be bought online or at the Level 1 visitor counter. Arrive at least 10 minutes before the start.
