“Page 2 Part III line 4 Film Processing & Sales, Part of our mission is to support continued practice within the discipline of moving image arts. We do this through an equipment rentals program. Every tool learned through our educational initiatives is accessible outside of the classroom setting. The rates are very competitive, and in most cases we are the only entity renting this specialized equipment, Auricon Optical Sound recording camera, Underwater housing and camera for 16mm filmmaking, High-speed slow-motion camera capable of filming at speeds of 20,000 frames per second. To make this work, artists and filmmakers need the material of film in all its formats, Super 8mm, 16mm and 35mm film. We are the only distributor of moving image film in Brooklyn, we offer the film at list price, with no mark-up and no minimums.

Workshops - MONO NO AWARE organizes affordable workshops in traditional filmmaking for the public.

We also offered FREE streaming seminars, lectures and demonstrations to thousands of viewers. The in-person workshop experience is all inclusive with film material, equipment access, developing and scanning lab services done in-house at our preservation lab, Online streaming sessions were offered for free with the option to donate for materials to be shipped with zero contact through the mail to our community members.

The films are also available digitally through our Vimeo page. We teach off-site workshops as well, in 2021 we provided ZOOM learning sessions with Duke University, Lafayette College,and a special film intensive with a new artist run lab in Portugal started by one of our former workshop participants from 2019. These initiatives foster an appreciation for the moving image art form. Public Exhibitions In May we continued our OPEN AIR SCREENING series (OAS).
