SUMMARY:NEW DATE: Afternoon Filmmaking Workshop: Dreams\, Objects\, and Memoir
DESCRIPTION:April 30 – May 23\nWednesdays and Friday\, 1–3:30 pm (4 weeks\, 8 sessions)\n$30 members/$60 nonmembers\n(scholarships available! email caroline@squeaky.org)\nWe are excited to announce this weekday afternoon workshop for older adults. The workshop is open to students of all levels. \nIn this playful and experimental video workshop for older adults (ages 55+)\, participants will create short films inspired by memories\, personal artifacts (objects\, photographs\, etc)\, and dreams. Participants will work individually and collaboratively to record and edit sound and video\, learning fundamental skills while exploring the artistic potential of free association\, repetition\, and layering. The instructor will guide students of all levels in using smartphone cameras\, audio recorders\, and video editing software. The resulting short films may question the line between dream and memory or lead to a narrative story. The workshop will end with a screening and celebration of the finished work.  \n  \nNo filmmaking experience is required\, but participants should be confident using a computer. The primary software used will be Adobe Premiere Rush\, an intro video editor with a free version. Students with prior experience using Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro may opt to use those instead.  \n  \n*While this session has some similarities to the Dreams\, Gestures\, and Memoir filmmaking workshop Avye taught in winter of 2023\, much will be new\, and returning students are welcome to attend.  \n  \nAll equipment provided. Squeaky Wheel’s computer lab is outfitted with Apple desktop and laptop computers. Space limited to 8 participants. \nScroll down to “Get Tickets’ to register\, or contact Caroline at caroline@squeaky.org or (716) 884-7172 with any questions. Not yet a member?

She earned her MFA from The University at Buffalo and a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Producing and exhibiting nationally since 2005 her work has been hosted at venues such as: The Soap Factory\, The Burchfield Penney Art Center\, IFP-MN Center for Media Arts\, Concordia University\, Red Eye Theatre\, Silo City\, and the Weismann Art Museum among others. \nSelect fellowships\, grants and residencies that have supported her projects include: 2008 Art(ist) on the Verge grant from Northern Lights and the Jerome Foundation\, which commissions artists working at the intersection of Art and Technology\, as well as residencies including: Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency\, Saltonstall Foundation residency\, Spatial Inquiry at Guapamacátaro Center for Art and Ecology in Central Mexico\, and Wohnungsfrage (The Housing Question) Academy\, at Haus der Kulturen der Welt [HKW] in Berlin. \nIn 2023 a Support for Artists grant from the New York State Council on the Arts\, through the Buffalo International Film Festival\, kickstarted the development of her next project\, Compass\, which is now in pre-production with support from The Fendrick Theatre Fund\, and the TRI-M Foundation through fiscal sponsorship with the New York Foundation for the Arts. \nShe is co-founder of gatheringspace\, a new entity to excite and enable cross-disciplinary experimentation for WNY artists\, with initial support from BICA’s Generator Fund Potential Grant. \n  \n  \nThis Afternoon Filmmaking Workshop is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. This activity is made possible by a grant provided by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in partnership with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy and supported by Lifetime Arts. \n \nBanner image: A photograph of the adult students in a classroom with computers. An image of a shadow is projected on the wall.
