Overview

A school class at Gärdesskolan in Stockholm got to try out filming themselves with 8 mm cameras during one school year. The experimental activities were led by a group from FilmCentrum and Teckningslärarinstitutet. At first, they made films that they themselves would most like to make – e.g. a trick film with Donald Duck, a horror film, etc. They also filmed the environment in the City and each other in a “documentary” way. Then they tried to create “neutral” material – images of cars, etc. that they filmed in the City without any particular intention. They divided themselves into two groups – one each against motoring and traffic in the city.
