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.

We welcome contributions that center around analog film, photography, and sound, including but not limited to:

• Environmentally sustainable darkroom chemistry
• Analog Camera Tutorials
• Methods for achieving double exposures on the Bolex
• Cyanotype processing for motion picture film
• Direct animation using unconventional materials
• Experimental and chemical photo techniques
• VHS glitching tutorials
• DIY approaches to creating optical soundtracks
• Process-based failures and unexpected outcomes

While contributors are welcome to include visual materials (still frames, photographs, diagrams, etc.) to accompany their process, this issue is primarily focused on the open sharing of knowledge, practices, and resources.

We encourage submissions from artists, educators, archivists, students, and analog enthusiasts of all experience levels. Whether your methods are refined or in-progress, conventional or unconventional, we invite you to contribute to this upcoming issue!

We are able to offer a $50 artist fee for accepted submissions.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: June 15, 2025
