Is your child aspiring to be the next Greta Gerwig (“Barbie” + “Ladybird”) or Kemp Powers (“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”)?

If yes, then it’s time to sign them up for the Austin Film Festival’s Summer Film Camp. Back for its 22nd year, these weeklong camps provide students with the venue, equipment, and instruction they need to create their own short films or animations.

Happening June 3-July 28 at the First Baptist Church of Austin, campers can choose from morning, afternoon, or day-long sessions open to students ages 9-18.
