City Library Filmmaking Workshops

Join our five-day filmmaking workshop for youth in grades 7-12 at the City Library. Young filmmakers create an original short film with guidance from experienced professionals. In small crews, participants explore every step of the filmmaking process—from scripting to shooting to editing.

Workshops are offered twice annually:

  • Workshop 1: March Spring Break
  • Workshop 2: One week in August

Presented by the North Vancouver City Library and The Cinematheque, these workshops are fully funded by the City of North Vancouver through donations from local productions.
