Filmmaking Camps

Ever wonder how to choreograph an epic fight scene? How to make a character fall out of a tree without the actor getting a single scratch?

In this week of SIFF Filmmaking Camp, we'll be working on shot angles, editing tricks, and the magic of sound effects! In small groups of 3-6, students (age 10-13) will learn the basics of working together as a movie production crew: writing scripts, directing actors, using accessible filmmaking technology, digital editing, and more. At the end of the week, students’ short films will be "in the can" and we will celebrate with a Friends and Family Film Festival in the SIFF Film Center theater. Finished films will be able to be viewed online or downloaded to share.

SIFF Filmmaking Camps

SIFF Filmmaking Camps are taught by a professional film educator, supported by a group of filmmaking mentors. Students will get a comprehensive experience of creating several short films and learn new storytelling techniques, while also being able to access grounds of the Seattle Center to have some fun when they need a break.

All equipment is provided. Students just need to bring a morning snack, a sack lunch, and their creativity for each day of the camp.
