Action, the first: Children shoot their own film

During the autumn holidays, the Gelsenkirchen Art School transforms into a creative film studio. Children aged 10 to 12 years will collectively develop a story, write their own script, and bring their ideas to life in front of and behind the camera.

From the first idea to the big screen

On the first day of the workshop, a special family experience begins with imagination, teamwork, and children's laughter. The young participants will consider which story they want to tell, design characters, and write the appropriate scenes. Step by step, an own film is created with a child-friendly learning experience.

Acting, filming, and sound design

After working on the script, it’s showtime! The children take on the main roles, try out acting, and learn how to prepare and record film scenes. Filming and sound design are also part of the program. They discover playfully how image, language, sounds, and music interact.

Creativity and joint development

The workshop strengthens expressiveness, self-confidence, and social skills. Age-appropriate teamwork promotes communication, consideration, and joint decision-making. At the same time, the children experience that every idea counts and that many individual contributions create a common work.

Premiere at Cinema Schauburg

The big highlight follows on October 30, 2026: The finished film will be shown on the big screen at Cinema Schauburg. Parents, families, and friends are warmly invited to celebrate the premiere together with the young filmmakers. This special moment makes the fun of learning visible and gives the children an experience they will remember for a long time.

Conclusion: Film adventure with a real premiere moment

The holiday offering connects creative play, media education, and community. Children aged 10 to 12 years will experience how their own idea becomes a finished film. Those who are interested in acting, camera work, and exciting stories will find an inspiring and child-friendly holiday activity at the Gelsenkirchen Art School.
