Step into the world of filmmaking!

Guided by two professional film teachers, students will learn how to tell a story through film. Working in groups, you will embark on creating your own one-minute short film.

Students will learn essential film skills and techniques, such as:

- making a captivating script
- working with professional cameras
- using a variety of shot types and camera angles to capture emotions and build suspense

Form your own film crew

In groups, students will collaborate on a captivating short film, which they will edit directly in the camera. Each student will have their own role, from actor to director. The workshop concludes in the studio with a collective screening and discussion of all the films created.

Many of our film instructors are professional filmmakers themselves and share tips from their own practical experience.
