Autumn Holidays: Children Create Their Own Film

From the first idea to the grand cinema premiere, children aged 10 to 12 experience a creative family adventure at the Gelsenkirchen Art School. Together, they develop an exciting story, write their own screenplay, and create a film that will be shown on October 30, 2026, at the Schauburg cinema.

Action, take one: Ideas turn into stories

On workshop day, the art school transforms into a creative film studio. The children collectively consider what story they want to tell, develop characters, and write scenes for their own screenplay. Every idea counts: Age-appropriate collaboration strengthens expressive ability, imagination, and the joy of co-creating.

Acting, filming, and dubbing

Then, it’s showtime. The young participants take on the main roles, try out acting, and learn how film scenes are prepared and captured. Filming and dubbing are also part of the program. This way, the children discover how images, language, sounds, and music come together to create a finished film in a child-friendly manner.

Fun learning with media and teamwork

The workshop combines creative media education with shared time and children's laughter. The children experience how many individual ideas come together to create a collective work. Communication, consideration for others, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility are given space, as well as curiosity, playfulness, and personal development.

Grand premiere on the cinema screen

The special finale awaits on October 30, 2026, at the Schauburg cinema. There, the finished film will be shown on the big screen. Parents, families, and friends are warmly invited to celebrate the premiere together with the young filmmakers. The cinema moment makes visible what the children have created with creativity, teamwork, and learning joy.

Conclusion: A holiday experience with a true premiere moment

This film workshop gives children aged 10 to 12 an exciting learning experience both in front of and behind the camera. Those who enjoy inventing stories, acting, and working creatively in a team will enjoy shared time in Gelsenkirchen with lasting memories. The grand premiere in the cinema makes the holiday project a special family experience.
