Arlington Heights Memorial Library held a five-hour boot camp in which four filmmakers gave teens advice on directing, storyboarding, sound effects and camera work so they could make films for the Teen Film Fest being held this Sunday at the Metropolis.

About this Article

A film festival of original movies shown at a theater for the arts seems like a natural fit. That same film festival being put on by a public library might be a bit of a curveball. It’s the Arlington Heights Memorial Library, though, that will be presenting its sixth annual Teen Film Fest on Sunday, Aug. 5. This year, for the first time, the library is not hosting the event, holding it instead at the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre.
