Reverb and Rewind, the media club and drop-in creative studio at the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, is excited to present its next workshop: Experimental Video Editing.

On April 20, participants of all ages are invited to play around with experimental media art while they review, remix, and re-work archival footage of fascinating moments in Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma history. To help familiarize and inspire participants, the workshop will start off with a brief introduction to various media artists and artworks that incorporate found and archival footage.

Using Premier Pro software, attendees will look through digitized analog footage from the museum's archives and use it to create new media artworks, or to simply play around with experimental video editing possibilities.

No prior experience necessary, just bring your creativity!

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
