Imago Film Club
Ongoing in the gallery: Thursday, February 12 | 6:30–8 PM | Free
Join the club for a lively conversation on the art of film, facilitated by Katherine Reaves, filmmaker, videographer and Imago community member. We are a small group of film friends learning together.
​
We return to the development of editing as an essential part of cinematic storytelling and move on from Hollywood Continuity Editing to discover how it influenced the emergence of French Impressionism in cinema, German Expressionism and Soviet Montage. The discovery of how sequencing, timing, camera movement and editing strategies allowed not only a story to unfold, but tensions to build and emotions release was met with enthusiastic experimentation and artistry. In real time, a new art form emerged and became a huge worldwide influence.
All are welcome.

Beginner-Level Filmmaking Workshop: ’interiors’
IMAGO Gallery | Saturday, February 28, 10 AM – 1:30 PM
Limit 10 people | $25
Learn the concept of mis-en-scène—set-design, costuming and make-up—and explore the theme of “interiors” with Imago filmmaker Katherine Reaves. Designed for those 18+, IMAGO’s film workshops introduce the aspiring filmmaker to the basics of film language through practice and doing. Although designed for beginners, experienced filmmakers are also welcome.
All you need is a smartphone or camera capable of taking video, plus enthusiasm and curiosity. Participants should know how to take a selfie and work their phone or camera. The goal is to leave with the tools to take to your own projects and to have a starting point to learn more.
Participants will be assigned a prearranged, local space in downtown Warren. Respond to the interior with a “5x5”—five different shots, five seconds each. Return to the gallery to edit and view the final products in class. This exercise builds on the previous workshop, where participants were introduced to the basic shots and angles, but it is open to all and participation in the previous workshop or Film Club is not a prerequisite.
