Following on from the success of last year’s initiative, the summer camp will be held from July 24 to August 18 providing an authentic platform for children and teenagers to learn the art and technology of filmmaking by producing their own movies from script to screen.

The course encompasses 4 – 5 classes per week, and modules include: An Introduction to Filmmaking; Story Creation; Storyboarding, Equipment and Lighting Operation; Directing Tips and Basic Editing Workshops. Nikon will be providing all necessary equipment for the participants as well as the prizes for some categories in addition to Nikon School sessions for the kids on the fundamentals of DSLR operations for film making.

At the end of the course, the short films produced will be evaluated by a distinguished jury and the top films will be screened at a gala ceremony in August. All the young filmmakers will be invited to walk the red carpet at the event, which is to be attended by VIPs and industry professionals, who will also present awards in various categories.

Reel Cinemas Future Filmmakers Summer Camp is also endorsed by Dubai Studio City and Dubai Film & TV Commission who will be sponsoring several talented young filmmakers to take part in the course.

The course is conducted Sunday to Thursday (timings vary day-to-day). The first three weeks of the film school will be taught at Reel Cinemas, The Dubai Mall; the final part of the course will be conducted at the Murdoch University Dubai campus in Dubai International Academic City.
