Fluid Blue [Direct Animation on 16mm Film]
Instructor: Yue HuaOrganization: Cambridge Art association
Date/TimeTuesday April 14 from 1-4:30pm
LocationKathryn Schultz Gallery, 25 Lowell St. Cambridge MA
Admission$75 CAA Members$90 General AdmissionMaximum enrollment: 16
Workshop DescriptionJoin us for a hands-on, beginner-friendly Direct Animation Workshop at the Kathryn Schultz Gallery. In just 3 hours, you’ll hand-paint, scratch, collage, and experiment directly on 16mm film—no camera needed—to bring your own animation to life.
Materials: No strict requirements. Feel free to bring any ink, paint, blue tape, or other painting tools you’d like to use. The instructor will provide both blank and vintage used film for students to choose from.
Screening: At the end of the class, students will exhibit their “art films” on a 16mm projector.
InstructorYue Hua (she/her) is a (Chinese-American) filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist who uses analog film, expanded cinema, and digital media to explore cross-cultural identity , language, and the female experience from a personal lens. Her work, often incorporating personal narrative and cultural background, dismantles traditional roles and empowers women through visual storytelling. She is drawn to film as both material and metaphor: luminous yet vulnerable, recording light and time while bearing the marks of decay. Through analog processes such as scratching, hand-coloring, eco-printing, and weaving discarded 16mm strips, she allows natural forces such as weather, plants, and sunlight to shape outcomes.
Her films and performances have been featured internationally at film festivals and galleries, including Revolution Per Minute Film Festivals, Mono No Aware Film Festival, Millennium Film Workshop Channel, Fisura International Festival of Experimental Film & Video, Brooklyn Film Festival, and AVIFF le festival du film d’artiste. Yue holds a BFA from the China Academy of Art, majoring in film and television production, and an MFA in Film and Media Arts at Emerson College. She is a recipient of the UFVA Carole Fielding Grant, Emerging Artist Award from RPM Festival, New England Local Filmmaker Award, and I-Park Residency at CT, and has served as a teaching fellow at Emerson College and RISD.

Don’t miss the amazing photobooks now at the 16th Annual Self-Published Photobook Exhibition at the Griffin Museum, open through Labor Day week-end. The show was juried by Karen Davis and Crista Dix (the Griffin Museum’s director). I’m honored that my photobook, E PLURIBUS UNUM (OUT OF MANY, ONE) was included in the show. The book highlights the contribution of immigrant stoneworkers during the renovation of a historic church building in Boston. Distinct from the gallery aesthetic, photobooks offer their own visual language, often conducive to more narrative qualities and seriality than the standard on-the-wall format. A parallel exhibition of hand-made photobooks is also on view.
