Winter Film Camp<\/strong> is an intensive educational film camp, running over 7 days and 6 nights<\/strong>, dedicated to teenagers aged between 14 and 18<\/strong>, who are just starting out, passionate about cinema, visual stories and the creative process behind a film.

The program is designed and led by Hora\u021biu Curu\u021biu<\/strong>, director, producer and cinematographer at Numa Film<\/strong>, together with a professional team of directors, producers, camera and sound technicians, actors and production assistants. The emphasis falls on learning by doing<\/strong>, with every participant actively involved in all the stages of making a film.<\/p>\n

This film camp is aimed at teenagers between 14 and 18 years old who are passionate about stories, images and creativity. Between 7 and 12 February, through workshops and hands-on exercises, participants will discover how a film is made: from idea and character all the way to shooting and editing. Filling in this form counts as a registration of interest; places are limited, and the parents of the children will be contacted afterwards with all the details about the program, costs and conditions of participation.<\/p>\n

The activities are structured as workshops, hands-on exercises, real shoots and analysis sessions<\/strong>, adapted to the age and experience level of the participants.<\/p>\n

We meet the two actors we work with during this camp and discuss the screenplay we are going to shoot together over the following days. The discussions are hands-on, so that all participants are part of the process. On this day we also discuss the filming equipment, equipment that all participants get to work with in rotation, provided by Numa Film. We go a little into the detail of how a film crew is organized.

This way, each participant gets the chance to experience all the roles at different stages of production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
