Please join us on Wednesday April 24th from 6-9 PM at NOVAC for our "Beyond the Screen: Activating Your Film in Non-Traditional Film Spaces" workshop with filmmaker and artist Kelsey Scult!

This course will explore how to activate your film in non-traditional film spaces. From art galleries and museums to cargo ship containers and abandoned motels -- some films need to exist beyond the screen in order to be fully experienced.

  • The workshop will cover:

  • The film history of artists and filmmakers that have activated their films through installation

  • Local, national, and international funding and residency opportunities for this kind of work

  • Workshopping specific ways course participants can activate their own films
