The IBWISE Short Film Production Summer Camp

July 27th-August 2nd, 2025

The IBWISE Short Film Production Workshop is an immersive, 7-day camp for students aged 15-19 interested in developing essential filmmaking skills. Over the course of the camp, students will learn scriptwriting, cinematography, editing, sound, production, directing and more. All of this comes to life through the creation of an original 3-minute short film with a team of their peers, which is an excellent resource for university admissions and, for IB Film students, can serve as Reel 3 of their Production Portfolio Assessment.

Students will live and work together at our beautiful Summer Campus in Vienna’s 13th district, as well as take trips into Vienna’s historic city center to visit museums, a performance of contemporary dance, and to shoot their original films on-location in Vienna’s cinematic and charming streets.

The IBWISE Short Film Production Workshop can easily be combined with our Pre-/Mid-IB Summer Camp for student interested in studying up to two additional IB subjects with our world class educators while staying with us in Vienna.

Students can sign up by clicking the following button and selecting our “Young Artists in Residence” Summer Camp, followed by “IB Film” as the subject (this is alright, even if you are not an IB student).
