Open to 10-16 year olds, this week-long course gives a small group of young people the opportunity to learn to make their own short films. In partnership with the Kent Film Foundation and run by professional film-makers, this will not only keep your young person occupied for the week, but also have them learning new skills, not only film-making but working as part of a team.
The course will run from Monday 16th August until Friday 20th August 10am - 3.30pm and costs £200 for the week. There is the opportunity to drop off earlier and collect later for £5 per child per half hour.
To book a place, please contact The Alexander Centre on 01795 591691.
Kent Film Foundation began its work with youth in 2010. The charity is regularly hired into South East Kent arts organisations to deliver film workshops for young people to learn the ropes about how a film is put together and all the teams involved. Film is very collaborative, so not only does it build confidence but film workshops can inspire young people to consider media and/or arts careers. Workshops take children through the process of making short films via film exercises and challenges. They learn the process that takes an idea through development, pre-production, production and final delivery of a completed film. To help them along the way they access prop boxes to get their ideas going, learn the basics of camera/sound/editing towards a finished film.
Early Bird Tickets £15
Standard Tickets £18
