What is Facets Kids Film Camp?

Facets Kids Film Camp gives kids a real foundation in the technique, language and process of film making. Using expert instruction, professional filmmakers and respected critics involve kids in what it takes to understand and create a film. Now in its 10th year, Facets Kids Film Camp gives kids who LOVE movies a chance to understand filmmaking from behind the scenes. Instruction includes:

The basics of filmmaking techniques, including camera angles, shots, lighting, sound recording, acting style, screenwriting, storyboarding, directing and film vocabulary.
A foundation in film theory and criticism.
Dozens of hands-on activities including: storyboarding, screenwriting, acting, writing reviews and making a movie.

Facets Kids Film Camp is the summer youth program of the year-round Facets Film School, developed by Facets Multi-Media, a leading, national, non-profit film organization, and producer of the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. For nearly 30 years the Festival is the largest festival of children’s films in North America and the ONLY Academy Award qualifying children’s film festival in the world.
