Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation Film Pilot
Select students are already hard at work trying their hand at filmmaking thanks to a grant from the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation to pilot an exciting new program. Students will be introduced to film as a social practice and as a visual medium for storytelling and will create a documentary or a narrative film with the overarching theme of “I Love Baltimore.” The six-week class is taking place in the school’s Center for Collaborative Arts and Technology, a state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary lab that houses many of the tools required for filmmaking. For more information, contact Bea Bufrahi at bbufrahi@bsfa.org. This program is for current BSA students only. To see a piece on the program that aired on WJZ, click here.
