Polar Film Lab invites you to a one-day introduction workshop on using seaweed as a developer for 16mm b/w film. Seaweed is a great resource here in the North and Lena has experimented with sustainable methods for developing analogue film on that basis.

Does sustainability, analogue film and seaweed sound like an intriguing combination to you? Well then join our workshop and learn how to develop a film roll in seaweed! We will forage seaweed together, shoot a black & white film, make our own seaweed-based developer and develop our film.

No prior knowledge about analogue film is necessary. This workshop also fits those that have advanced knowledge and want to learn how to prepare a non-chemical developer.

++ Lena Gudd will guide you through this plant-based developing process, as well as through the conversations that might be sparked around our relations to plants, to the natural world, creativity, film, photography and so on. She works at the intersection of photography and environmental humanities on multispecies relations in the North.
