The we.here.now summer camp brings together 24 young filmmakers aged 15 - 20 from Sweden, Lithuania and UK to make digital short films, supported by professional filmmakers and media educators. The project offers young filmmakers the opportunity to learn and develop their filmmaking skills, to meet and collaborate with other young Europeans who share their interests and to explore issues around European film and European culture.
Information about the we.here.now project and participants can be found on this website. From Tue 9 Aug you can view daily updates from the film camp in Sweden in the here: Journals section. The films produced by the young people will be posted online during the autumn.
