Film manipulation : A museum experience

Our project draws inspiration from Matthew Cetta’s Photogenic Alchemy Museum, which embraces unpredictability and creative risk in film. His work transforms the photographic process into an emotional and experimental journey, where imperfections become part of the art itself. Cetta’s approach highlights the beauty of chance, encouraging hands-on exploration and a deeper connection with the making process through film’s tactile and expressive nature.
