TRAINING FIFAK 2023

As part of the Jeunes Artistes association's dhaw Ethneya project, I'd like to introduce you to the Argentique photography workshop.

The photographic project Capturer l'éphémère (Capturing the Ephemeral) is a fascinating artistic exploration using a film camera. In a world dominated by digital photography, this project highlights the nostalgic, authentic charm of film photography, bringing the very essence of photography back to its traditional roots.

Silver photography is a unique artistic and technical process that involves the use of light-sensitive film to capture images. Unlike modern digital photography, where images are captured and stored as digital data, silver photography requires a more deliberate and meticulous approach. The photographer must be attentive to every shot, as film has a limited number of exposures before it has to be developed.
The workshop enables young filmmakers to explore silver photography alongside their cinematographic skills.

In short, the workshop aims to introduce young FIFAK festival filmmakers to silver photography, explaining the steps involved in shooting, developing and printing, while encouraging them to create photo projects for the festival exhibition.
