Summer Film School

About

"The legends are true. Exeter Phoenix’s fabled Summer Film School, created with film, education and theatre company Four of Swords, has returned!
Yes indeed, Summer Film School is back and promises to be better thanever. This week-long workshop (Mon 04 – Fri 08 Aug) is aimed at young creatives aged 10 to 17 years old. It offers the chance to work with skilled filmmakers to create an amazing short film from scratch in just one week.

Activities include:
- Writing / Story-boarding / Devising
- Set / Costume / Make-up Design
- Acting!
- Prop making
- Camera Operation
- Green Screen Work / Animation

You don’t need to be interested in ALL of these areas, but everyone will have the chance to try everything. Mostly, of course, it will be exhausting, enormous fun!
Each day will run from 9am – 4pm, with a dedicated lunch break. Our theme for 2025 will be adapting Brothers Grimm-style fairytales.

The final film will premiere at Exeter Phoenix, where parents, family and friends will be able to see the finished film on the big screen. Spaces are limited. As there are only 26 places available, early booking is advised for this popular workshop.

Feedback from previous workshops:

""This is amazing that children were involved in all stages of creating processes! You helped our daughter to discover and develop her hidden talents!"" Parent Feedback

""I just want the whole thing repeated this week and every week.""

""Thoroughly enjoyed the week as I always do with Four of Swords."""
