Film Photography Retreat x BERLIN

Hello there!

We warmly invite you to join us for our next edition of film photography retreats, a creative escape made exclusively by and for film photographers.

Last year, our retreat took us to Catalunya, where we embraced the sun and immersed ourselves in vibrant colors and the ancient atmosphere of a Spanish country villa. This year, we’re excited to announce a change of gears. Imagine Golden Autumn vibes, with soft light and tenderness in the air. Our 2024 retreat will transport us to a rural area in the vicinity of Berlin, Germany, where we have found a magical country estate as host location.

The intention of the retreat is the same as usual. We want to create an oasis where we can relax, regroup and restock our creative wells for the year to come. Throughout the retreat, you’ll have the chance to (re)connect with fellow film enthusiasts. We’ll shoot, share stories, swap techniques, and revel in deep appreciation for the art of analog photography.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out on your film journey, our retreats are designed to inspire, challenge, and rejuvenate your creative spirit.

We are beyond excited to kick off this year’s edition! We would love for you to join us for an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, camaraderie, and the magic of film photography.

*Our retreats are on an invite-only basis to create a safe space for everyone.

Booking process

how to register for the retreat

Use the link below to book your spot.

After making your booking, you will receive a booking confirmation via email (within 24h) and receive instructions regarding payment.

 

Payment terms

when and how we need your money

There are two options for you to make the payment for your booking:

Option 1: Pay in full after booking (within 14 days)

Option 2: Pay 50% after booking (within 14 days) and 50% until August 13

Please reach out if you need an individual payment plan, we can make it work.

Budget

how we calculate and what you should plan for

We are always aiming to make the retreat affordable for everyone, irrespective of income level. That said, we are also aiming to have some key ingredients in place which make it such an enjoyable time. We hope that nobody will be held back by budgetary constraints, but if that is the case for you, please reach out to Bronwyn or Elias to see whether we can find a solution.

Refunds

your options if your plans change

In general, your booking is non-refundable. As we are hosting the retreat on a not-for-profit basis, we have tight budgets and no possibility to compensate cancellations (we cannot pay a refund out of our own pocket).

In special circumstances, if a suitable alternative participant can be found (e.g. via waiting list), you can request a partial or full refund. However, please keep in mind that most people on our waiting list have work/travel commitments and might not be able to fill your spot on short notice. If an issue arises, inform us as early as possible to increase your chances for a refund.

Waiting list

aye, there is one

The waiting list is helpful for people who have no previous connection to our little community. If you are one of those people (we are excited to get to know you!) or know someone who you would like to recommend, please reach out. We will offer remaining places for the retreat to those on the waiting list first.
