Our community darkroom is back this Sunday 28th September 2-6pm
If you have a B&W super 8 /16mm film or 35mm photography project you’ve been working on and need some space to test prints or develop negatives join us by booking a free 4 hour slot.
As well as booking on eventbrite please also end us an email on barkingcommunitycinema@gmail.com with more details of what you hope you'll be working on so we can prepare accordingly. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
The sessions are free with all equipment and chemistry provided, but participants will have to provide their own photographic paper for printing. Technicians will be available for advice and some assistance, but no training will be provided, hence participants need to have some previous experience in the darkroom and are responsible for their own work.
