Experience filmmaking from idea to screen in this one-day film school experience.
Students conceive, shoot, edit, and present their films on the big screen at the SIFF Film Center. Crash Course Kids welcomes youth ages 8–13 and Crash Course Student welcomes youth 14–18 years old.
Since 2012, SIFF’s Crash Mobile program has offered BIPOC youth ages 10–18 free film production workshops brought to them from within their own communities.
In 2022 SIFF successfully launched its two new program partnerships, hosted by Seattle nonprofit Red Eagle Soaring and Pacific Middle School in Des Moines, WA. SIFF is thrilled to share that for the 2023–24 season of Crash Mobile we will again partner with Red Eagle Soaring (RES) and Pacific Middle School (PMS) to increase the accessibility of creative arts education for BIPOC youth.
