ABOUT CINEMA KIDS

For the vast majority of the twentieth century, young people were marginalized from filmmaking practices because of the expense, weight, and technical knowledge related to the equipment used. Today film cameras fit in the palm of your hand, personal computers come with editing software, and more kids are making movies than at any other point in history.

Cinemakids was introduced in 2000 to honor young filmmakers who create visual art, as well as to motivate other youth to become culturally active through media production. Now in its tenth year, Cinemakids is a two-day weekend program that includes screenings of youth-made films, as well as workshops for young people in basic film production techniques.
