American Film Institute Opens Applications for Cinematography Intensive Workshop
The American Film Institute has opened applications for this year’s Cinematography Intensive Workshop.
This year’s edition of the AFI Cinematography Intensive Workshop will take place May 29–June 1 on the AFI Campus in Los Angeles, and is presented by Panavision.
The program was founded by AFI Conservatory Cinematography Discipline Head Stephen Lighthill, ASC, and part of the Innovative Programs department at the world-renowned AFI Conservatory. Lighthill said, “It is a great honor to once again lead this one-of-a-kind experience for cinematographers who are dedicated to improving their craft and taking the next step in their creative journey.” He added, “Thank you to the talented AFI Cinematography Faculty members and special guests for their continued support of this transformative initiative and their commitment to emerging visual storytellers.”
The program is a tuition-free, four-day workshop designed for aspiring cinematographers committed to their journey toward a professional career.
As part of the workshop, CIW participants take part in hands-on master classes in the fundamentals of cinematography, analyze specific work crafted by professional cinematographers and gain insight to securing on-set experience in the field. The program will accept up to 20 candidates who demonstrate a passion for visual storytelling, have on-set experience and are looking for additional training to advance their education, craft and career.
Kim Snyder, president and CEO of Panavision, said, “Panavision is proud to continue our support of the AFI Cinematography Intensive Workshop, empowering aspiring cinematographers.” Snyder went on to say, “This workshop is more than just a training program; it cultivates a collaborative environment where talented individuals can connect, exchange knowledge, and refine their skills, enhancing their careers and ultimately contributing to a more diverse and vibrant landscape within the film industry.”
CIW was first launched in 2018 and has featured cinematographers and AFI Conservatory faculty and alumni as guest lecturers and teachers, including “Loki” cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, “Insecure” cinematographer Ava Berkofsky, “The Woman King” cinematographer Polly Morgan and more.
Applicants can visit AFI.edu. The submission deadline is April 10.
