The Hopper
Synopsis
Working with the concept that the idea behind a film is more important than the technology used, Madame Winger describes inexpensive ways to create films that include hand-processing and drawing directly onto the film. Helen wrote “It’s fun to handle film as a celluloid canvas rather than as a fragile carrier of images. You can experiment and create the most beautiful images ever.” A companion volume to Madame Winger is her filmmaking how-to compilation Recipes for Disaster: a Handcrafted Film Cookbooklet.
Screened as part of the Helen Hill Experimental & Animation Showcase during the 2007 festival as part of a tribute to the late Helen Hill.
