At Emily Carr University of Art + Design I teach an Analogue Practices course as well as an Advanced Analogue course, both of which include extensive amounts of cameraless or handmade film. Students complete a 1-3 minute Film Destroy Project and incorporate cameraless techniques into their own shot footage for a second longer assignment as well. It becomes a large part of their toolkit for this particular mode of media making (which is entirely non-commercial in focus, although there are films that include a great deal of cameraless techniques that have had commercial success). In a 12 or 13 week semester their first month is in cameraless. This gets them familiar with all the infrastructure and concepts - steenbecks, projectors, splicers, winders, optical sound, frames per second, animation, sprockets, etc - but also gets them source material for their next assignment - optical printing. It's a pretty popular course and students love working this way. It is also sometimes included in foundation courses (art).
