Over five days, campers will take an in-depth look at each aspect of the filmmaking process through film screenings and discussions. We will focus on a specific artist each day, a master in their field who’s work spans decades and genres, and have acted as influences on thousands of filmmakers since. 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 and each artist’s styles and signatures. Build a solid foundation in film education for your budding cinephiles!

Day 1: Screenwriting

Day 2: Cinematography

Day 3: Directing

Day 4: Editing

Day 5: Performance

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. With a strong foundation here, campers will have a head start in their future careers as filmmakers, critics, programmers, and most importantly, movie lovers.

• The Big Lebowski
• Days of Heaven
• Rashomon
