Take our intensive summer film school and short film courses taught by Australia's leading, award-winning filmmakers. Get the chance to use state-of-the-art camera equipment, professional gaffers, and grips.

This program is for aspiring filmmakers of all ages. Held only once a year during the summer holidays at Dancehouse, 150 Princes St, Carlton North, 3054, the Filmmaking Summer School is the only industry-based film course for beginners, media teachers, students, and those wanting to up-skill or change career direction.

Filmmaking is an exciting, collaborative, creative pursuit and has never been more accessible or affordable. To make good films, however, we need to understand the essentials, using all the tools—and personnel—at our disposal. We can look for information online but there’s nothing better than learning from leading, award-winning filmmakers who deliver a lifetime’s knowledge—and insight—into filmmaking and the film industry.

Learn all aspects of practical film production in this intensive summer school. Fully structured courses are available, or you can choose sessions that interest you or that you need to learn or improve on.
