Critical Discourse

“Most participants do not arrive [to the Film Farm] with a plan. This is encouraged, if not a rule. Each person finds a niche during the week and mines it, or makes dazzling last-minute discoveries. Utilizing a laborious “resist” technique, Clint Enns’s Walking with Phil ( 2013 ) was made by applying dots of masking tape frame by frame to exposed footage under a red light then double-processing it, first as negative then, with the tape removed, as reversal. There is no textbook for that kind of making.” – Brett Kashmere, “Chemistry Class: Jeffrey Paull, the Escarpment School, and the Legacy of Process Cinema at Sheridan College,” in Process Cinema : Handmade Film in the Digital Age, edited by Scott MacKenzie, and Janine Marchessault (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2019), 309.
