Teen Video and Film Program at the ICA

Hello Everyone,
The information below is from Mr. Joe Douillette.

Hello Teachers, Administrators and Youth Workers!

I run the Fast Forward Teen Video and Film program at the ICA, a filmmaking program provided free of charge to high school students. The work of Fast Forward students has been celebrated around the globe, and many former students have gone on to arts-related colleges and careers. The class meets weekly at the ICA for the full school year, culminating with a screening of work at the ICA on May 8^th, 2009. This year I am accepting 18 new students. I am focusing my recruitment on sophomores and juniors, although any interested student should apply. No experience is necessary. We train the students as long as they are interested in learning and creating. If you have students interested in this opportunity to make video and films, let me know the best way to introduce them to it:

-A short presentation in your classroom
-Fliers, applications and a DVD of work provided for you to distribute
-Free tour of the museum and a presentation in our Digital Studio (during or after school)
-Presentation at an assembly in your school/program
-Provide the student(s) my contact info and have them get in touch with me directly

Our deadline for applications is September 30^th, 2008. So, please, be in touch soon!
