Watch films. Get paid.

Cinemaniacs is a FREE after-school film and media studies program for teenagers across Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, taught in partnership by Philadelphia Film Society and award winning youth digital media organization, Big Picture Alliance. All students will receive a stipend upon completion of the semester!

In Cinemaniacs, teens explore the role of cinema in their lives and society through watching and analyzing a diverse selection of historical and contemporary films. Youth develop a deeper understanding of the evolution and creative process of filmmaking through screenings, discussions, creative activities, and conversations with guest filmmakers.

Teens aged 14-19 are welcome, no matter grade level or school enrollment status.
