Please share with your high school students and recent graduates

 We're very excited to cooperate with Helena College on this upcoming film program. If you know a junior or senior in high school or recent high school graduate who might be interested in applying, please share this! 

Humanities Through Film: A Summer Bridge Program at Helena College

Have you ever considered a career as a filmmaker? Now's your chance to learn all about it. Guided by award-winning professional filmmakers (including an Academy Award winning filmmaker), college professors, and local historians, you and a team of fellow students will conduct interviews, research historical archives, operate cameras, write a script, record audio, and produce a documentary film. 

All students will have access to state-of-the-art cameras, audio and video equipment, as well as Apple workstations throughout the program. No experience required! Students from all Montana communities are encouraged to apply

Dates: July 11, 2022 - July 22, 2022 (weekdays)
Cost: Free; Lunches provided
Eligibility: Juniors and seniors in high school and recent high school graduates 
Location: Helena College Donaldson Campus (1115 N. Roberts Street, Helena, MT 59601) 

In 2021, students produced the movie "No Ordinary Time," about the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic in Montana.  This year, students will focus on the Montana State Capitol.  

2022 Theme 

Less than a decade after achieving statehood, Montana began construction on its Capitol building in 1896, creating a physical representation of the patriotism and civic pride emerging from the ideals of democracy. The design of the building captures Montana's unique story of transformation: how a territory becomes a legitimate state and how diverse interests come together to form a community. Over time, many of these contributions and founding stories, which helped build Montana, have been overlooked. Now, 110 years later, this history will be explored through the lens of high school students.
