The aim of this unique experimental film workshop at Primanima Festival of First Animations is to get the participants acquainted with the technique of making a celluloid-based abstract film. During the workshop, the participants will work with 35 mm celluloid strips and colour them with different paints and felt tip markers. The strips used for the workshop have been buried in the ground and the procedure partially decomposed the images on them.

During the workshop, the filmmakers will make their own short adaptation of a poem that will allow the decayed images to come to life again. The guest tutor of the workshop will be József Iszlai (HUN-ROM), composer and sound designer, who will create the sound design for the moving images.
