Facets Kids Film Camp Teaches About Movies
from Behind the Scenes
Facets Kids Film Camp, presented by Facets Children’s Programs, is a summer program that introduces kids ages 7-14 to the techniques, language, and process of filmmaking. Professional filmmakers and respected critics provide expert instruction in what it takes to understand, create, and review a film. For over 10 years, Facets Kids Film Camp has given children who love movies a chance to understand filmmaking from behind the scenes. Instruction covers topics such as camera angles, lighting, sound recording, acting, and screenwriting, while providing dozens of hands-on activities, including writing reviews and making a movie.
Friends and family are invited to a special graduation ceremony featuring the world premiere of the participants’ completed movies at the end of the program.
Facets Kids Film Camp is broken into three summer sessions. Session 1 includes two weeks of half-day sessions from June 18-29, with kids ages 11-14 meeting in the morning and kids ages 7-10 meeting in the afternoon. Session 2 is a week of full-day sessions for ages 11-14 from July 9-13. Session 3 is a week of full-day sessions for ages 7-10 from July 16-20. Lunch is included for both full-day sessions.
Graduates of Facets Kids Film Camp are eligible for participation in other prestigious film programs at Facets, including the Children’s Jury for the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival – where jurors view, critique, and award prizes for the 2012 Festival – and the Facets Film Ambassador program, which sends kids as delegates to international film festivals in Italy, Korea, India, and Canada.
