9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Over five days, campers will take an in-depth look at each aspect of the filmmaking process through film screenings and discussions. We’ll start the day viewing a contemporary release, followed by an older film to show how these techniques have developed over time. With a curriculum designed by a/perture’s curator and programming director, Jake Laystrom, each film will be preceded by an introduction and followed by a group discussion, specifically highlighting each day’s focus. Build a solid foundation in film education for your budding cinephiles!

By exploring film history and film theory through individual disciplines in the filmmaking process, campers will gain a better understanding of the images they consume, and why certain choices were made to bring these stories to life.
