Education at The Picture House seeks to develop a deep respect for the power of cinema as an art form and its capacity to expand our sense of the the world as it is, or might be. We also strive to provide the fundamental skills necessary for the craft of filmmaking and visual literacy, so that our students, young and old, will be well equipped to thrive in our 21st century, media-saturated culture.
Onsite Classes, Camps and Workshops
The Picture House offers workshops, camps, and classes throughout the year at our newly
renovated Studio in Bronxville, located at 84 Kraft Avenue. From one day camps to week-long
camps offered during school breaks and summer vacation, there are filmmaking experiences for
every age group. We offer classes in Green Screen Technique, Horror Movie Making,
Documentary, Stop Motion Animation, Poetry on Film, Editing in iMovie, and so much more. All
finished videos from our onsite classes and camps premiere at our annual Student Showcase.
The showcase provides a red-carpet experience at our theater for all our young filmmakers who
can bring family and friends to see their work on the big screen.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience both in school and at The Picture
House. It was a wonderful way to get students to step out of their comfort zones, often
times without even knowing it.

The Picture House offers a variety of curriculum-driven, enrichment, and after school programs
in partnership with elementary, middle, and high schools as well as community groups

different in-class subjects. We’ve created classes to enhance Native American history,
Black History Month, and Immigration, just to name a few. We also offer weekly after-school and

throughout the year. Classes exploring Making a Commercial, Making a Trailer, Documentary
Filmmaking, Music Videos, Narrative Short Films, and How-To Videos are some of our most
popular offerings in area schools. All finished videos from our enrichment and after school
programs are eligible for our annual Student Showcase. The showcase provides a red-carpet
