Learn the art of cameraless animation, a.k.a. drawing, painting or scratching onto film stock. Create abstract animations using this classic technique. Instructor Madi Piller will share some examples of animation made this way, and give beginners a hands-on history lesson in experimental celluloid-based animated film-making.

Madi Piller is a filmmaker, animator, programmer and independent curator. Her abstract, nonrepresentational images are drawn from film explorations in Super 8, 16mm and 35mm, as well as photography and video. The resulting imagery is strongly influenced by diverse animation techniques and styles. Madi’s films have been screened at film festivals, alternative spaces and contemporary art venues nationally and internationally and her work has been produced with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council. Her website is madipiller.com.
