GET AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE FILM INDUSTRY FROM THE PROS
We hear a lot about directors, actors and producers, but there are thousands of other film professionals working “below the line” and in other areas of the industry who help to make movie magic happen. This is your chance to get an inside look at those parts of the movie making process that don’t get as much public attention. Participants will take part in a series of interactive workshops with industry professionals from every corner of the business from casting directors, sound designers, stunt people, and make-up artists to production designers, animators, visual effects producers, film critics, and more.

TRAIN TO BE A FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAMMER
Ever wonder how movies get picked for the Mill Valley Film Festival? In this weeklong program, you will learn from MVFF programmers about how a film festival works and how they decide what to show to audiences. Then you will take part in the selection process as a member of the jury that chooses the films for the youth-produced shorts program at MVFF42. You will screen dozens of short films from all over the globe and learn how to curate the program for exhibition at our annual festival in October. If you like watching movies, this is the program for you!
