Following the initial training period with industry professionals, participants will move on to the creative phase, where they will have the opportunity to develop and create an audiovisual project of their choice. Throughout this process, experienced tutors will be available to guide them, offering advice, support and practical assistance as they bring their ideas to life.

To organise your shoot at its best.
To give your images light and emotion.
To bring all the pieces together.
The Summer Camp is 10 days of training in which every participant learns filming techniques, photography, sound, editing, production and more. Working alongside the other participants, small crews form and bring their own project to life.
Lessons take place on training days from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:30 to 17:30. The residency takes place in a seaside venue, so participants can also enjoy moments of relaxation and conviviality together.
After classes, participants are free to wander around the city, scout locations, explore and taste the fantastic Calabrian cuisine.
The experience ends with a screening, followed by a moment where the tutors share their impressions. The works created remain available to the participants, who can use them for festivals and more.

No experience? That’s fine: the camp is designed for people just starting out.
Anyone who wants to pursue a path in cinema or the audiovisual sector but lacks foundational knowledge.
In Calabria, in Tropea, for 10 days from June 15 to June 26.
Participants will take part in directing, screenwriting, production, and cinematography classes during the first few days, followed by two days of brainstorming, and then produce their projects alongside tutors.
No, the summer camp is intended for people without experience who want to take their first steps into the audiovisual world. Over these 10 days, participants will gain experience across various fields—directing, screenwriting, production, and cinematography—to discover which area suits them best. It is also open to anyone looking to challenge themselves!
Lessons will be held in English.
It is preferred but not mandatory. Any type of photo/video camera will do, as well as a laptop; these are useful if you want to immediately put into practice what you learn.
You will learn how to write a screenplay, how to use and adjust camera settings for your projects, different types of lighting to understand what best fits your scene, and how to manage pre-production to best organize your shoot. These are just four of the core topics!
Access to all classes, tutor support throughout the creative process, equipment, accommodation in a single or shared room (your choice), and breakfast and lunch for the entire duration of the Summer Camp.
Registration fee: €1,099 instead of €1,599.
It is perfect because you will learn to connect with others who are also experiencing this for the first time. While we are not your tutors outside of class hours, we provide full support.
An info pack will be sent to every participant well in advance.
