no.w.here’s summer school The Right to Play Oneself is an 8-week programme that builds on our reputation as a vital community and site for the production, discussion and dissemination of practices engaged with the moving image, politics, technology and aesthetics.
Led by Ed Webb-Ingall, Summer School participants will come together to investigate, interpret and interrogate the role of collectivity, collaboration and performance through filmmaking. They will take part in a program of workshops, screenings and field trips as well as training in 16mm and digital filmmaking and editing. Our methodologies will draw from a breadth of practices and histories of collaborative filmmaking and collectivity.
Guests over the course of the summer school will introduce modes and methods of working, learning and making together from expanded approaches to film, video and sound through to fields such as writing, storytelling, anthropology, dance and theatre. In thinking and working in this way, participants will use ideas around collectivity to reflect on their own practice and ways of working as individuals outside of, or against the dominant ideologies of industrial filmmaking.
Enacting a range of methodologies from documentary through to performance techniques we will experiment with how a film or video project might reflect or embody the processes, politics or identities of those involved in its making. As Thomas Waugh, from who the Summer School takes its name, states: “If films are to be instrumental in the process of change, they must be made not only about people directly implicated in change but with and for those people as well.” Together we will ask “What constitutes a community now?”, “What does collectivity or collaboration look like?”, and conversely “What might actively not-participating look like?”
This year’s Summer School uses the model of the workshop to create a space that will perform the simultaneous function of film studio, laboratory, community centre, theatre, TV station and cinema. We will draw on moments and modes from history and theory, but eschew nostalgia and instead focus on storytelling, recreation and reimagining.
Ed Webb-Ingall is a filmmaker with an interest in exploring practices and forms of collaboration. He works with groups, using modes of collective filmmaking as a means to investigate themes of identity, history, politics and representation.
The school runs Monday-Fridays, 10-5.30pm, with Thursdays reserved for independent time in the lab. There will be 2/3 confirmed guests each week including: Jake Astbury, Cara Tolmie, Patrick Staff, Karel Doing, Phil Minton, Beatrice Gibson, Avery Gordon, Oreet Ashery, Massimiliano Mollona, Lucy Pawlak, Rehana Zaman, Sarah Pierce, Olivia Plender, Cinenova, James Holcombe.
