This film was created in the workshop held on 12th October 2024 at https://www.azpiral.com.au. Workshop participants explored various direct-on-film techniques working on 35mm film leader and found footage. The sequences were created by scratching, drawing, painting, collaging on actual film and were then digitised to create this collective film. Congratulations to the workshop participants who animated the film sequences: Arrik Sutherland-Muir, Clarence Fennessy, Hung Lin, Juan Sebastian Cordon, Michael Hunt. Original audio is composed by Paul Fletcher. The film was digitised and assembled by the workshop tutor Sabrina Schmid.
