Free Youth 16mm Hand-Painted Film Workshop (Austin Studio Tour)

Young artists turn hand-painted 16mm film into a moving painting at the Austin Studio Tour with Austin School of Film! On November 14, young artists will paint directly onto clear 16mm film in a free analog filmmaking workshop at Govalle Elementary during the 2026 Austin Studio Tour. Led by East Austin native and Govalle Elementary alum Faiza Kracheni, participants will use creative prompts to make their own hand-painted film strips. The strips will be spliced into one continuous loop and digitized, bringing each participant’s work together in a collaborative moving painting. The piece will premiere at Imagining Govalle: An All-Youth Exhibition at The Canopy on November 21 and 22. No prior filmmaking experience is required. Film and supplies are provided at no cost. Free & open to K and up! Austin School of FIlm is a program of 501c3 nonprofit organization Motion Media Arts Center This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment (ACME) Division, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
