Summer Film Camp, presented by Austin Film Festival’s Young Filmmakers Program, returns in June for its tenth annual program of screenwriting, filmmaking and claymation workshops for aspiring filmmakers ages 9 – 18. Workshops offer students unparalleled access to in-depth, personal instruction from industry professionals.

In addition to workshop sessions, campers are provided with opportunities to participate in panel discussions with special guest speakers. Past speakers include Anne Rapp (screenwriter - Dr. T and the Women, script supervisor - Funny People, He's Just Not That Into You, The Color Purple), Jeff Nichols (writer/director - Take Shelter), Dan French (Emmy®-nominated late-night comedy writer), Alvaro Rodriguez (screenwriter, Machete) and Tom Holland (writer/director - Fright Night). Topics are based on the distinct expertise and experiences of each guest.

All completed camp films will premiere at the Summer Film Camp Showcase. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate these films on the big screen! Students will also receive a DVD copy of their film.

All workshops and panels are held at Austin High School, home to one of the leading media arts programs in the United States.

Thank you to everyone who has attended the Annual Austin Film Festival and Conference over the past 18 years. We are inspired by the commitment to writing and filmmaking exhibited by our returning friends and invigorated by the enthusiasm of so many new friends.

In order to develop and refine the Festival, we are increasing our registration prices for the first time in almost ten years. It has always been important to us to keep our events accessible and affordable and we have worked hard to maintain steady prices over the past decade. To help mitigate the price increase, we are offering four registration deadlines. The first deadline is coming up on December 31, 2011, and we are offering substantially discounted prices on all Badge levels. Check out the grid here and click on each Badge type for more information. As always, refunds on early purchases are available prior to July 5, 2012, minus a $75 processing fee. After July 5, 2012, all payments are non-refundable for any reason.

We are already working on new and creative ways to improve our programming for 2012, so be sure to save the dates: October 18-25, 2012!
