PROGRAMS

Reel Youth offers claymation and video making programs for youth groups, schools, and service agencies looking for exciting and meaningful ways to engage young people.

The programs are delivered by facilitators trained in filmmaking and empowering youth using the arts. Young people of all ages and background are supported to make films about the changes they wish to see in their community and the world.

Video Making
A weekend program that includes training with video equipment, film making techniques and styles, viewing and learning from other youth films and working in small groups to make 3-5 minute, professionally edited films. (sample films)

Claymation
A three hour or weekend exploration of stopmotion animation and a journey into the process of creative collaboration. Working in groups of three to six, youth will make short films. Suitable for any age! (sample films)

All of the films made in the Video Making and Claymation programs are hosted on ReelYouth.ca and submitted into the Reel Youth Film Festival.

The programs are designed to give participants creative freedom in making a film about the issues that matter to them most. Facilitators act as guides and mentors.
