“Home-Brewing Small-Gauge Filmmaking”: A web platform containing video tutorials & technical manuals

This proposal is the 1st phase of a multi-phase project that bears an ultimate goal to provide access to the marginalized small-gauge analog filmmaking practice to the Hong Kong community, as there is such lacking of resources, support and accessibility of small-gauge filmmaking/film processing as an art form. One key element is to build an open and free for all communal, educational online platform. The proposition is to contribute to the repositioning of analog filmmaking in the realm of the contemporary digital era. Experimental and DIY filmmaking would be the core fields of this project. Other than conducting film experiments and researches, the ultimate goal of this project is to nurture, promote and sustain analog filmmaking ecology in Hong Kong.
