# Event Details - **Event Name**: 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Learn how to paint, scratch and drawn on analogue filmAbout this EventThis workshop introduces participants to Direct Animation -a method of imagemaking that involves scratching, painting, hole punching, collageing, and otherwise modifying either scrap, clear, or black 16mm celluloid film. This type of filmmaking yields flashy and vibrant results, and allows the artist to experience filmmaking in an analog medium without the use of expensive cameras or dangerous developing chemicals.This workshop will begin with an introduction to the art form alongside a demonstration of a few techniques. Participants will create an experimental piece of animation where artists can choose whether to engage in precise drawing, swirl paint or scratch wildly, as examples of both kinds of techniques will be demonstrated. At the end of the workshop, the instructor will collect the finished films and splice them together to be scanned into a digital moving image and a collaborative film that can be screened at a separate event at Forest City Gallery. Finished animations will also be emailed to participants after the session to share with family and friends!All materials will be provided. This workshop is open to all skill levels.Facilitated by Mia Buono, an artist and filmmaker from Toronto, Ontario who focuses on the analog and alternative process medium. Her recent body of work includes direct animation on 16mm using both prerecorded and scrap film (Senses - 2023, Ghost - 2023) and works created without a camera, using the body in place of a lens (Exp. 20 Minutes - 2023). Her most ambitious work of this type to date is FTBP (2023), which she created by hole punching, dyeing, scratching, and collaging 16mm and was exhibited at Maximum Exposure 2024. Mia uses these techniques to explore the mediation technology plays between the body and film image, and enjoys sharing this artform with others through workshops at Menagerie Markets and Caledon Culture Days, She holds a BFA in Film Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University, and also enjoys photographing and assisting in the facilitation of arts workshops at the Neilson Park Creative Centre. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0e485350-69a4-11f1-a7fc-0517f8089ffd-rimg-w1200-h675-dca7a8a9-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/0e8694d0-69a4-11f1-ba52-bfd8536ace95-rimg-w1200-h675-dc020301-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/16mm-direct-drawing-on-film-animation-workshop/100001990517090200 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_14_with_guardian - door_time: 2026-06-27T16:30:00Z - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Forest City Gallery - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Forest City Gallery - **lat**: 42.9980483 - **long**: -81.2169533 - **full address**: Forest City Gallery, 1025 Elias Street, London, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/54d05e1ad74a43fcd1cb244f83a674107c00db68c6fb867f7d21c75c3f2615a1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1781072236 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop being held? - **A:** 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop takes place on Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Forest City Gallery, 1025 Elias Street, London, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop? - **A:** 16mm Direct Drawing on Film Animation Workshop is organized by Forest City Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
