BFC Filmmaking Bootcamp – Summer 2023

Your Ticket to a Career in Film

Are you interested in making movies? If so, our filmmaking bootcamp is the perfect place for you! In this intensive program, you'll learn everything you need to know about the filmmaking process, from pre-production to post-production. You'll work with experienced filmmakers who will teach you the ins and outs of the industry. You'll also have the opportunity to create your collaborative short film, which you can use as part of your portfolio.

This bootcamp is perfect for beginners who want to learn the basics of filmmaking. It's also a great opportunity for intermediate filmmakers and videographers who want to brush up on their skills or learn new techniques.

This two-week intensive filmmaking workshop will cover all aspects of filmmaking, from camera and lighting to sound, pre-production, production, and post-production. We offer a hands-on learning experience combined with theoretical concepts. We will write a short script together, film it, and then edit it. At the end of the workshop, there will be a screening and discussion of films, followed by a delicious vegan meal and a certificate of completion for all participants.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up for our filmmaking bootcamp today and earn a certificate from the Beirut Film Center.
