Summer filmmaking courses in Toronto


For people in Toronto wanting to learn filmmaking techniques, a number of places offer affordable summer courses. 

The Hart House Film Board is the University of Toronto's film club. Membership is available to UofT students and alumni. Courses are open to anyone, but students and members get a discount.

Trinity Square Video is a not-for-profit artist-run centre that provides artists and community organizations with video production/post-production support and services at accessible rates.

The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) focuses primarily on film and is a member-driven non-profit organization that provides affordable access to equipment, education and space for those with a passion for, and commitment to, the practice of filmmaking on celluloid.

The Hart House FIlm Board also hosts an annual event, the Hart House Farm Project. On the weekend of August 13-15, the Film Board will have a movie-making retreat at the Hart House Farm, where participants of all levels can cooperate on one or more group projects. I have participated in this a few times and have always enjoyed it immensely.
