In response to shrinking public arts support, film publication Analog Cookbook and experimental media resource hub This Week in Experimental have joined forces to launch their first-ever 16mm Film Fund, a community-powered grant designed to support filmmakers working with analog film.
We are thrilled to announce that we’re now accepting submissions for the next issue of Analog Cookbook.
This “All Recipes” issue will serve as a collective resource: a curated compilation of analog media recipes, techniques, and tutorials. Drawing inspiration from Helen Hill’s legendary text Recipes for Disaster—which brought together 37 experimental filmmakers to share handcrafted, home-grown processes—we aim to foster a similar spirit of generosity, experimentation, and open exchange.
Analog Cookbook is a film publication dedicated to promoting accessibility in celluloid filmmaking. Emerging from DIY roots, we are committed to sharing darkroom recipes, featuring artists working with analog film, photography, and video, and building a platform for celluloid enthusiasts all over the world.
The 7th issue of Analog Cookbook, titled Analog Erotica, looks at sexuality, erotic imagery, and pornography’s contributions to radical artistic practices.
At 200 pages, it's the biggest issue to date and features mushroom and green tea film developers, essays on making work amidst chaos and grief, and interviews and conversations with filmmakers, photographers, and artists from around the globe.
Analog Cookbook is accepting submissions for issue 4.
Since 2019, Analog Cookbook has featured artists, filmmakers, and photographers working with analog media from all over the world. Deeply inspired by Helen Hill’s Recipes for Disaster, this publication seeks to make the knowledge of working with film more accessible to anyone and everyone who wishes to experiment with celluloid and analog processes in the digital age.
Analog Cookbook is a biannual film journal and space dedicated to celebrating artists who work with analog media while providing practical knowledge of non-digital filmmaking.
Issue 2 ships in January and we're doing pre-order with free/discounted shipping. Check us out: www.analogcookbook.com
