no.w.here's film facilities are not available (outside of commercial labs) anywhere else in the UK. This, in itself, creates innovation as illustrated by the long history of artists films made during the film co-op years of the late 60s and 70s. no.w.here also allows artists and filmmakers to experiment with production and chemical processes (not allowed in the commercial labs). We have a new quality telecine for artists who wish to shoot on film and then edit digitally. Innovation in our existing equipment (optical printer) also enables artists to perform functions beyond the facilities original use. Film artists now have new possibilities that have never existed with which to take their work in new directions. In conjunction with these facilities we have developed a series of workshops whereby experienced artists impart their knowledge and share their ideas and skills about the film form. This dialogue between ideas, access, facilities and the creation of new work in turn leads to new ways of using the equipment.
