Lights, Camera, Imagination! Faculty Help Turn Teens’ Ideas Into Films
This year’s films debut at the ArtRage Gallery in Syracuse (Feb. 7 through March 21) as part of the Syracuse Symposium series on "Creativity."
Using simple objects such as stones, eggs, paper plates, colored markers and a globe, and employing techniques of light, shadow and motion, a dozen Syracuse area high schoolers are making original short films this summer using their smartphones. “Teens With a Movie Camera” is a four-week, community-based project designed to empower the teens, give voice to their ideas and bring the skills the faculty mentors teach in their college courses to a wider circle of neighbors.
