FILM AUF FILM: Phytogram Workshop für Kinder
Sonntag, 02.08.2026 | 11:00 – 15:00 Uhr | Phytogram Workshop für Kinder (ab 5 Jahren) | Filmhaus Köln | Teilnahme kostenlos (mit Anmeldung unter info@filmauffilm.de) | Anwesenheit eines Elternteils erforderlich | Der Workshop wird auf deutsch gehalten
In diesem Sommerferien-Workshop experimentieren wir mit der Kraft der Sonne und Pflanzen. Eine Blume, ein Blatt, oder eine einzelne Blüte – all das kann auf einem Filmstreifen sichtbar werden, denn mit Hilfe einer Zaubertinktur zeichnet sich das Innenleben der Pflanze auf einem Filmstreifen ab. Gemeinsam werden die Kinder an einzelnen Filmstreifen arbeiten. Den daraus entstandenen, zusammengefügten Film schauen wir uns anschließend analog an. Die Phytogramme auf 16-mm-Film können aufgeteilt und mit nach Hause genommen werden.
Der Workshop findet zwischen 11 und 15 Uhr im Foyer des Filmhaus Köln statt.
Teilnahme ab 5 Jahren. Wegen des Einsatzes von Haushaltschemie ist die Anwesenheit der Eltern beim Platzieren der Pflanzen auf dem Film notwendig. Einweghandschuhe werden von uns zur Verfügung gestellt.
Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Für eine bessere Planung freuen wir uns über eine kurze, formlose Anmeldung an info@filmauffilm.de
Bringt gerne etwas Proviant zum Mittagessen im Foyer und Pflanzen und Blumen mit – ob aus dem Garten, vom Balkon, aus dem Park oder der Küche! Am besten eignen sich kleinere, flache Blätter, Blüten oder Gräser, die nicht viel größer als der 16-mm Filmstreifen sind. Es kann aber natürlich gerne experimentiert werden!
Wir freuen uns auf euch!
Das Workshopangebot vom Artist Run Film Labs FILM AUF FILM e.V. kann dank des Ministeriums für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (MKW NRW) stattfinden.

Bolex Workshop “Introduction to 16mm: shoot, develop, and project”
Saturday and Sunday (11. + 12.07.2026.) | Bolex Workshop “Introduction to 16mm: shoot, develop, and project” | Filmhaus Köln | Free participation (registration required info@filmauffilm.de)
In this two-day workshop, we will explore 16mm analog film. We will combine some technical background with examples from selected short films and hands-on filming, working with film as a material and looking at how light, movement, and simple processes shape images in often unexpected ways.
Over the two days, we will create a collective film on black-and-white reversal stock, moving through the full process from beginning to end. This includes working with 16mm film stock, shooting with a Bolex camera – a spring wound hand-held camera widely used in independent and experimental filmmaking – developing the footage by hand, simple analogue editing, and finally projecting the completed work on film. In short, we will go through all the essential steps of making a 16mm film by hand, using independent methods.

FILM AUF FILM: Ute Aurand
Ute Aurand is a Berlin-based experimental filmmaker, curator, and film educator. She studied at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb) and emerged as part of a new generation of women shaping experimental cinema in 1980’s Berlin and West Germany. Working primarily with 16mm film, Aurand has developed a distinctive cinematic language grounded in rhythm, kaleidoscopic cuts, and recurring motifs. Her films explore everyday moments with remarkable visual textures. Since the 1990s, diary filmmaking has been at the heart of Aurand’s practice. Her filmography encompasses more than forty works, spanning from the 1980s to the present day.

Film auf Film: Ted Fendt
Sunday 18th of January 2026 4:30 p.m. | Atelier Talk with Ted Fendt: Constraint and Freedom in Minimalist Film | 2 hours | Foyer, Filmhaus | Free admission, no registration necessary
Sunday 18th of January 2026, 7:30 p.m. | Film auf Film: Ted Fendt | Film programme | Filmhaus Cinema
Ted Fendt’s minimalist feature films can be characterised by their nuanced observations of interpersonal interactions and their laconic staging. His works follow the everyday rhythm of their protagonists, whose inner states can sometimes remain elusive, that reveal with subtle humour their situation caught somewhere between restriction and self-determination. The focus is on those small, fleeting moments that narrative cinema usually does not take the time to expose.

Film auf Film: OJOBOCA – Workshop “Subverting the image“
Saturday and Sunday, 08.-09.11., 10 a.m. – 5/5:30 p.m. | Workshop “Subverting the image“| EYE GOT SPACE Köln | Free of charge | Limited Places | Registration via info@filmauffilm.de until 31st of October
The two-day workshop from Saturday, 08.11. (10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) to Sunday 09.11. (10 a.m.-5 p.m.), at EYE GOT SPACE Köln, is going to be defined by the title: Subverting the image – A Workshop on Refusal in Analog Film.
We are rapidly entering a state of infinite images, where vast amounts of energy and attention are being devoted to constructing a mirror world that is intended to surpass our own material reality. But in a finite world, striving toward this simulated infinity comes at a cost: the erosion of meaning and the collapse of the very world we inhabit. Drowning in this deluge of images, perhaps it is time to reconsider our relationship with them. This workshop invites filmmakers and artists to explore strategies of subversion —methods of working against the image from within the language of film.

OJOBOCA | Short film program, 16mm projection
Friday, 07.11., 8:30 p.m. | OJOBOCA | Short film program, 16mm projection | Filmhaus Köln
OJOBOCA is a Berlin-based artist duo formed by Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy. Their work is rooted in an exploration of cinema as a social ritual and as a tool for generating collective experience. They call their practice Orrorism, which they define as a simulated method of inner and outer transformation. Since 2010, OJOBOCA has created a series of experimental films, installations, and performances that have been screened at film festivals and art venues worldwide, among them the Museum of the Moving Image, ICA London, Anthology Film Archives, Berlinale, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and New York Film Festival. Their work is also known for its innovative use of analog film techniques, which they continue to develop as members of the artist-run film lab, LaborBerlin.
