Visiting Filmmaker Workshop

In recent years, Boston University Summer Term has proudly presented the Visiting Filmmaker Workshop.

This series of workshops provides students of film with access to award-winning filmmakers, allowing for the exchange of ideas and dialogue in a hands-on setting. Under the guidance of professional filmmakers and video artists, students explore topics of filmmaking including theory, technique, and conceptual realization.
