Cinema Day will be offered to all schools that wish to participate during one of the festival days. On this day, the students (grades 7-8) will watch a film as well as participate in a series of workshops conducted by film industry experts. These workshops will include discussions related to directing, sound, filming, costume, and make-up. Students will be involved in hands-on experiences which will further expand their knowledge and appreciation for filmmaking.
ICFF Youth will collaborate and work with various institutions such as Ryerson University, Humber College, Sheridan College, and other institutions, whose experts will be presenting to students on Cinema Day.
