Cinelab is a two-week long summer filmmaking program for aspiring artists aged 14–19 presented by The Cinematheque in partnership with the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts.
Cinelab is a series of two-week filmmaking workshops (happening in July) geared towards youth aged 14-19 that will create unique short films with the support of experienced filmmakers and university film students. Established professionals from the Vancouver creative scene will deliver masterclasses, and completed works will debut at a special red-carpet event at The Cinematheque on August 12th.
The focus of Cinelab is to empower young artists to bring their creative visions to life through the visual language of film, with specific attention to the self-representation of minority groups. Cinelab fosters the professional development of emerging filmmakers, who are hired as film facilitators, and allows youth to develop skills that often result in careers in the film industry.
