Some days there are images in your head you’d like to actualise in front of you. On something you can hold, something you can project. Something with colours seen coming out of the darkroom. A mathematical dance, a feeling explored frame by frame, a love song broken down to its bare bones, a project you build to remind yourself to wear your heart on your sleeve. You ask your favourite people to bring it to life with you. @renee_philippp @emme.og give you melodies and bars. Repetition and rhythm. @_aishwaryabodke helps you discover how one dances in stop motion. 1 movement 16 frames 24 times. @natasha_.142 @shivanimjoshi construct and create colours. Tasty yummy colours. @talwar_karan quietly whispers ‘good game’ before each run of the performance. Projecting and playing. Film is hard. An analog camera will humble you. Focus is for the bourgeois- but I want focus. Colour film is harder. You develop like running a marathon. Too pink too blue - why are blacks not blacking. Projectors don’t open up to you easily. Performing live is an adrenaline rush. A tap on the shoulder to cue the next gigantic film loop. It’s a to and fro of light and film. It’s a push and pull between feeling and doing. It’s learning, labour and a little love. Most months with all the odds stacked against you. Days where you didn’t think this would ever get made. Some moments it’s a dance of your own. But at the end of it all - it’s those with the creative bones who make around you, with all genuineness, giving up pieces of their heart. Thank you for putting my puzzle together. define dancing is a 16mm multi-projector colour film performance made at @harkat.studios .

Day 1 schedule is OUT! We’re starting off with 16mm film performances followed by a very fun Friday night party at harkat. We can’t wait to have you over:) Passes on altshows.com in bio and full schedule on our website at 16mm.harkat.in

This month’s Harkat newsletter as a slider by the very talented @keyu.rious . Because not only is it so topical with the @16mmfilmfestival around the corner, it captures the very spirit of makers who dive deep into things. The lovers, the hopeless romantics, the sparkly eye people and all the ones who some people call nerdy and strange. While we will never know who holds the truth, these words surely hold a lot of our truth. Intuition is the only saving grace.

Walking is just like swimming. People are a lot like fish. 🐟 A tiny 16mm film made in Kerala (@greenara.in ) surrounded by coconut trees, frogs, bugs, fish and film. An attempt at in-camera masking for some strange effects. Thank you for the playground of photochemistry @harkat.studios <3 In frame : @gorkeypatwal @srinathiswaran @azimmoollan @ordinarytiwari @tittlesturtles @katyayani.mov @vanijchoksi @perennial_evergreen @ananyabanga @shurpa_nakhi @itiagarwal @talwar_karan and Abith Also, first time shooting on the beastly 16mm ARRI BL but maybe I'm just a K3 girl.

A re-starter week and a new special effect experimented on 16mm film. An in-camera technique of bi-packing a negative film strip with a mask strip, triple exposing it with 3 seperate masks. A few hours were spent in the darkroom in many attempts of loading two films simultaneously while keeping count of frames passing us by, again, again and again. A tiny bit of film slipped through the camera creating the magical streaky image. Letting it fly by here cloaked as a happy accident. This started out as a rhythm. Rhythm turned into beats. 1 beat equal to 2 frames. 1 macarena in 12 beats equal to 24 frames. And then everything happened in a multiple of 24. In frame, ananya danced mathematically. Hoping everything fits. Hoping there are more frames to make. Hoping everything ends in a rhythm. :) Co - figure-out-er - @talwar_karan Shot on Bolex with AGFA b/w stock all thought and made at @harkat.studios

There’s always so much comfort in going back to things. As much as new things seem daunting and exciting, making your way back to things that brought you comfort because of the familiarity they hold in your life is so surreal. It’s not always simple, and it brings grief, because it may not be experienced again with the same intensity or frequency. But the rarity of it is what makes it so special. Working with analog film makes us feel that way. Some rare coincidences and some planned accidents. This time it was a mixture of both. These pictures were created by double exposing film. Not such a difficult task, honestly, but we made it difficult for ourselves. We decided to keep tabs of what we were clicking the first time around hoping we’d know what we’re going to click the second time. But after a point, we ended up exposing the wrong objects on the wrong images, but maybe these mishaps are the best ones we’ve got. So much adrenaline in this, and despite its complexity (it’s actually simple, we are the problem), it helps us escape from other complexities in life, lol. We’ll keep going back to this way of capturing things. Shot it all on tasma 100 b&w 35mm film. Hand developed it all in D-96. Learnt it all at @harkat.studios

‘Kismat’ out now on YouTube! Link in Bio :) “Luck never gives, it only lends.” Watch what happens when the loan comes due in our film “Kismat” as we explore love, passion and separation with a flavor of whimsy and magic added for good measure.

After many many months of online meets, writing sessions, song selections and a week of really wacky hectic fun shoots later... This is Keyu and Yash :) We believe in pushing the limits of our imagination and doing lots of homegrown jugaadu filmmaking to make that happen. Our scale might be small but the number and heart of the people involved is anything but. 'Kismat' is a story about luck and how it affects us, in good and sometimes not so good ways. But what happens when fate itself is upto some mischief? Luckily ;), you don't have to wait for too long to find out, as Kismat will be knocking on your doors soon.
