The University of Calgary has begun the process of constructing its Strategic Plan for 2023-2030. As part of that process, workshops are being held across our campuses (and online) to gather your thoughts on the University’s goals, values, culture and priorities - as well as what can make us stand out as an institution.

Fill your week with action, adventure and a lot of comedy with Film Camp in A Box movie making camp. Mentored by master filmmakers, campers will engage in hands-on exploration of the filmmaking process, including pre production, production and post production. Working in small crews, they will learn about cinematography, script writing and editing on Final Cut Pro. Campers will then create, act in and edit a short film and movie trailer, adding special effects, music, voices, titles and sound effects. Participants will have the opportunity to use our latest technology, including Mac books, 4K cameras, tripods, boom microphones, green screens and the use of an aerial drone. Crews will also create their own promotions and advertising links to showcase their music video the world. Movies will be presented at our red carpet, popcorn film festival and archived on our digital theatre.
