Filmmaking with Minecraft

After-School Course

Fall 2026

Your Minecraft adventures deserve the big screen treatment. Step behind the camera and into Minecraft, where you’ll explore the fundamentals of cinematic production, including how to design sets, style your characters, master lighting and camera techniques, build compelling stories, and craft immersive soundscapes. Working as a team, you’ll produce an original film that premieres on the big screen at the Jacob Burns Film Center. Every block tells a story. What’s yours?
