SUMMER FILMMAKING CAMPUS 2026

We offer a five-week intensive program in the core methods of filmmaking, combining both theory and practice. Of course, our Campus provides much more as part of the curriculum, but above all, it is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Time seems to stand still, and everything that came before the workshop fades into a blur of distant memory.

 

GET SEDUCED BY FILM STORYTELLING

Are you at a crossroads in your studies or planning a life-changing twist?
Are you creative, witty, and bold?
Are you a passionate filmgoer, fascinated by the filmmaking process?
Do you want to explore the complex language of fictional film narration?

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for open-minded and talented young people who are ready to embrace the challenges that arise throughout the various stages of the filmmaking process. These challenges also extend to collaborative work — the ability to share ideas, contribute to the development of others’ input, and work as part of a creative team. We also value the ability to accept feedback and use it to enhance the quality of the final results.

WHAT MIGHT YOU BE LOOKING FOR?

Do you wish to gain a concise yet comprehensive experience in directing, cinematography, sound design, and editing? Our summer course can also count as a university summer activity — its content is defined in ECTS credits, and students receive a Transcript of Records upon completion.
