This video documents Moonplay Cinema's Fall Experimental Film Workshop, a project organized by Jes Reyes and facilitated by Sabrina Ford. This six-week program offered an overview of the histories, contexts, and philosophies behind experimental film and the use of the medium as a liberatory tool within the many political countercultures of the oppressed majority. Through this exchange, a community of emerging artists was built.

Participating artists:
Nia Ross
Chauncey Renville
Francisco Rubio
Reilly A. Miller
Liqing Xu
Meti Mekone

The workshop covered:
-Why Experimental Film? Philosophies and History
-Mediums and Techniques
-Working with Archives
-Projection (How to screen your work)
-Film as Practice/Career Guidance

Cohort Period: Six sessions on Sundays, 1-4 PM
October 6, 13, 20, 27, November 3, 10
Location: Various

About the Facilitator: Sabrina Ford is a moving image artist and curator based out of the Twin Cities with a specialization in diary filmmaking and projection. Her practice is centered deeply around womanist/anarchist philosphies of filmmaking, and she is currently researching Vodou ancestor veneration and its transmutations within the processes of video, and producing the public access television series, Dream Chambers.

​This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
