Melinda Stone will lead a workshop to show participants how to self-process black and white 16 mm film.  The group will shoot and process their own film and then the results will be shown during Melinda Stone's evening engagement at the Aurora Saturday night, Nov 18, at 8 p.m.  Admission is $40.  For reservations to the workshop, call 713-868-2101.

A filmmaker, curator, and teacher, Stone has produced over twenty films and videos, as well as numerous outdoor cinematic productions. Stone has a deep affinity for the American West and road travel; the subjectivity of her work often extends from historic research and the mining of cultural conditions found immediately in the land. For the past six years she has been creating outdoor site-specific screenings. These events include Fleur Power (1998), Sink or Swim (2001), The California Tour (2003), and Market Street 1905/2005 (2005). Stone is currently director of film studies at the University of San Francisco. She is also one of the founders and current director of film projects for the Center for Land Use Interpretation in Culver City, California. In the past year she has been awarded a Bay Area Goldie and the Phelan Award for Filmmaking.
