Students in grades 4-12 who live or attend school in San Mateo County are invited to learn tips on creating videos at a free Film Workshop on Zoom offered by students in the Burlingame Environmental Club (BEC) at Burlingame High from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 29, via Zoom.

Sponsored by the Citizens Environmental Council (CEC), the workshop is intended for students who plan to enter environmental videos in the 5th Annual CEC Student Film Fest offered by CEC and BEC. Pre-registration is required at https://www.burlingamefilmfest....

Those who attend the workshop will be given the opportunity to submit their videos for feedback by the BEC before they enter them in the competition.

With support from Peninsula Clean Energy, CEC will provide cash prizes that will be awarded to student filmmakers in three categories: Elementary grades 4-5 ($150), Middle School grades 6-8 ($150), High School ($150) and Overall Festival Winner ($150).

Students who wish to enter should submit an original video, not more than five minutes in length, on the environmental topic of their choice by Tuesday, March 1. The final entries will be screened and winners will be announced at the CEC Student Film Fest on Tuesday, March 22, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. live at the Burlingame High School auditorium. The festival is open to the public and admission is free. San Mateo County Supervisor Dave Pine will be on hand to acknowledge involvement of all participants.
