Hold Your Eyes in Your Hands is a performative film workshop, whereby film director Julie Weber combines theory with embodied knowledge for a playful and engaging series of collaborative experiments. This workshop will allow for short active exercises examining pre-production methods and film techniques including expanded storyboarding, composing shots, cardboard Steadicam making and finally, filming as a performance. This workshop will examine located practice and an individual response to the environment. It will include a tour of the site with moments of collective performance through filming, investigation of space, archiving and communication. At the end of the workshop, you will have a set of exercises to move forward with for making new moving image work.
This workshop is linked to the online release of Julie Weber’s new short film, titled The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming, commissioned by IMMA as part of IMMA Nights 2022–2023.
