Throwback to Home Made Visible’s Super8 Workshop

Here are some photos from our incredibly successful and engaging Super8 workshop. We partnered up with the8fest this year to host a FREE hands-on filmmaking workshop using Super 8 film, and spent the day out and about the streets of Regent Park! 

The ten workshop participants were mostly local TCHC residents from Regent Park. 

Why Super8? Because Super 8 film, the classic “home movie” format.

Stay tuned for more Home Made Visible workshops on archiving and storytelling in the new year, as part of our nationwide tour!

Were you there for the world premiere of Home Made Visible at the 16th Annual Regent Park Film Festival? After the premiere we had a talkback with our eight commissioned artists whose works were shown on the big screen: Maya Bastian, Faraz and Parastoo Anoushahpour, Lisa Jodoin, Aeyliya Husain, Nadine Arpin, Jennifer Dysart, as well as Melisse Watson who had a mixed-media installation in our Virtual Space this year. 

Check out the video below for a little sneak peek clip of the talkback, featuring Melisse Watson on their piece Reunion; self-determination of the Black American South. 

Stay tuned for where all the Home Made Visible commissioned works travel next! Tour announcement is coming soon.

 
Two of our talented Home Made Visible artists, filmmaker Maya Bastian and  multidisciplinary artists Melisse Watson, were interviewed by Support Your Local Collective on Radio Regent on the thinking behind their works “Arrival Archives”, and “Reunions; Self Determinations of the Black American South” respectively. Listen in to hear what they had to say!
