In this 10-day workshop, students learn how to produce short documentaries on Japan-related themes through lectures/discussions with independent producers and directors, hands-on training in production, and screenings of great Japanese films, including features and documentaries. Student films will be screened on the final day of the program, followed by a reception. Participants must be high school students as of September 2006.

This program is offered in conjunction with Downtown Community Television Center (DCTV).
