Thanksgiving Filmmaking Camp at LANGSTON
Black youth aged 9–12 will create short films in just three days.
November 22 - 24, 2021
Create a few short films in just three days! In small groups of three to six, Black film students (aged 9-12) will practice storytelling techniques while learning the basics of working together as a movie crew, writing scripts, directing actors, using accessible filmmaking technology, and digital editing.
Monday, November 22–Wednesday, November 24
9:30am–5:30pm
Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute (104 17th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144)
Students apply to be a part of this FREE filmmaking program, a co-presentation by LANGSTON and SIFF. There are expected to be 20–25 confirmed students for the program and any who complete all three sessions will be paid a $100 stipend upon conclusion.
MORE DETAILS
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. On the final day, we will world premiere all the finished films at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute with family and friends. Finished films will be able to be viewed online or downloaded to share with as many people as you'd like.
This Filmmaking Camp is taught by a professional film educator and a group of filmmaking mentors. Students will get a comprehensive experience creating several short films and learning new storytelling techniques.
All equipment is provided. Students just need to bring a morning snack, a sack lunch, and their creativity for each day of the camp. A light nutritious afternoon snack will be served.
