The popular Make a Film in a Weekend (MaFiaW) course is back!

With industry professionals guiding every step of the way, attendees will learn the fundamentals of filming, lighting, sound recording and story creation.

During the two-day course, each person can try out various roles on set, learning the necessary skills to go on and create their own cinematic stories. Two weeks after the course, an editing workshop will take place, introducing attendees to the principals of editing.

Open to everyone aged 16-99 years old, MaFiaW is an exciting, transformative experience that is not to be missed.
