Crash Documentary Presented by LANGSTON

A FREE three-Saturday filmmaking workshop specificially for Black teens aged 13–18 at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute.

September 11, 2021

LANGSTON is proud to present a FREE three-Saturday immersive filmmaking workshop for Black youth aged 13–18 in participation with SIFF Education!

These workshops are free and require a commitment to attend all three workshops. Students who attend all three workshops will receive a $100 stipend for participation.

Please complete the registration form to be considered for this program.

Youth will practice the art of storytelling and learn to bring their ideas to life, creating short films around culturally appropriate themes based on historical figures of the central district and specific social justice issues from the community. Show off your curiosity about the world around us through the medium of short film!

Experienced teaching artists will guide production teams over the three sessions, each workshop building on the previous, engaging all experience levels in camera work and editing software to enhance the storytelling process. Students will practice and become comfortable with all elements of documentary filmmaking, including: interviewing, researching, filming, editing, production design, and more.
