A hands-on workshop on using a 16mm Bolex camera for beginners. We’ll cover how to load the camera and the basics of exposure. The workshop is designed to be inclusive; no equipment or prior knowledge of film is required.

Participants will get their hands on the camera and shoot portraits of each other on 100ft of black-and-white film.

After the activity, the film will be developed, scanned and the results will be sent to the attendees.

(Jérémy Gagnon is the writer-director of Pique-nique, screening at the 2026 Nickel on Saturday June 27 at 7pm.)
