Bandon Summer Filmmaking Camp for young people age 14-18 is specifically designed for young people and are ideal for those who are creative and have a genuine interest in filmmaking, either in front of or behind the camera. Previous experience is not a requirement. 

Each workshop will cover scriptwriting, camera work, lighting, directing actors, and an introduction to editing. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have experience with every role on the team and together will have produced a short film as a film crew. Participants get to make a film, learn new skills, and receive tips on how to use their own equipment whether that’s a phone or a camera. It’s all about having fun, building confidence, encouraging creativity and self-expression. 

Taught by experienced professional filmmakers, each week covers storytelling, directing, film production, script development, sound, lighting, cinematography and editing. Each day from10am to 4.30pm is jam-packed with practical activities which encourage participants to explore a wide range of filmmaking skills from writing and directing and acting, to cinematography, editing, and creating soundtracks. The young filmmakers will get the opportunity to develop their craft using professional equipment provided by Cork Film Centre.
