About This Event

Phoenix Film Camp returns to Leicester from August 17 to 21, offering young filmmakers an intensive five-day course designed to hone their skills and bring two short films to life. Every day kicks off with a line of dialogue and a prop, providing the creative spark for teams to develop their narratives and production techniques over the subsequent days. The event showcases the raw talent and innovative storytelling of these aspiring directors as they present their work at the Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre. This immersive experience not only provides participants with invaluable hands-on learning but also offers a platform for them to share their vision and creativity with audiences eager to witness new narratives take shape.

Develop your talent, learn new skills and make two short films in a week on our exciting 5-day summer course for young filmmakers.

Develop your talent, learn new skills and make two short films in a week on our exciting 5-day summer course for young filmmakers. You’ll be given a line of dialogue and a prop in the morning, then you’ll have two days to write and produce your film. After that, you’ll swap roles and go for it again. So everyone will get the chance to experience a range of roles as you race against time to make not one, but two film masterpieces in a week.

The films will then be edited by the Film Camp tutor ready for their ‘premiere’ screening here at Phoenix in the autumn.

Designed with different learning styles in mind, Film Camp covers all the key elements of filmmaking and production, including scriptwriting, shooting, direction and editing.

All equipment and training will be provided by our expert tutor, Keith Allott.

Lunch is not provided, attendees are welcome to bring their own but all packed lunches must be nut free - more information on this will be sent closer to the course start.

Suitable for ages 17-21.

Cancellation Policy:

We do not offer refunds for cancellations of bookings, except in exceptional circumstances. In the event that an advertised course is withdrawn, we will endeavour to give 7 days’ notice and a full refund will be made.
