Climate Warriors Summer Filmmaking Intensive: 2026

Climate Warriors Summer Filmmaking Intensive

2026
BAVC is pleased to offer a four-week environmental justice focused filmmaking program for high school-aged youth between the ages of 14-18, from San Francisco and across the Bay Area. Participants will develop skills in video and audio production within a collaborative environment, apply those skills to develop a short documentary video project tied to an environmental justice theme, and connect the production of the short video to a social impact plan. Our filmmaking climate warriors will not only complete the 4-week intensive program with a holistic understanding of an environmental issue facing our communities but also with an in-depth understanding of how to convey a dynamic story through filmmaking!
