Botanicalistas

Directed by Caryn Cline

“Botanicalistas” grew out of a workshop filmmaker and educator Caryn Cline taught at the Olympia Film Festival (November, 2010) on how to make handmade films using botanicals. The participants, all artists, were drawn to the haptic and kinesthetic in this approach to filmmaking. Each created several seconds of footage, working with clear or black leader and botanicals gleaned from his or her own environment.
