New film training centre opens he new Capilano College Film Industry Craft Training Centre officially opens Wednesday, March 24. Everyone at the College is invited to attend the festivities, which get underway at 3 p.m. “Since we moved into the Centre last fall, the demand for training continues to grow and there is no shortage of students who want to know more about the film industry,” says an enthusiastic Bob Morris, program manager for Film Studies. Five years ago, Bob appraised the flourishing film industry, consulted with union representatives and industry professionals, and proceeded to develop a film studies program in Continuing Education. “From an initial offering of 19 non- credit courses, we’ve grown to almost 50 in continuing education that focus primarily on the development of craft skills. We’ve also added apprenticeships and a full-time credit program,” says Bob. “And we have more under development!” In September 1998 the first full-time Professional Film Studies program got underway. Capilano College also delivers apprenticeship training for grips, set dressers, script supervisors, 3 assistant directors and assistant location managers. Apprenticeship programs for costuming and make-up are currently under development.
