AgX is part of a global community of artist-run film collectives and laboratories who share resources, equipment, knowledge and a physical space focused on the creation and appreciation of photochemical filmmaking. Combining the variety and scope of AgX members’ individual skills, the group realizes otherwise complicated or expensive undertakings, such as screenings and performances; classes and workshops; chemistry and film stock orders; and equipment rescue and repair. Collaborating with an array of artists, students and organizations, AgX supports a diverse community of filmmakers, photographers and interdisciplinary artists—both novice and experienced. At our space, members can engage in shooting film, processing, contact printing, optical printing, animation, analogue and digital editing, and recording optical soundtracks, as well as a variety of screenings, workshops, skill shares and discussions.
