CAC Programs
The Teen Media Program was founded in 1970 to give teens an opportunity to voice feelings and express themselves to the larger public with media arts as their tool. The program first began by offering basic black-and-white and Polaroid photography, and super-8 filmmaking. The addition of the video production element in 1986 helped establish the "Do It Your Damn Self!" National Youth Video and Film Festival, a nationally recognized festival. TMP offers seven-week units throughout the spring, summer, and fall sessions in video production, photography, and sound, as well as opportunities to participate in the annual DIYDS Festival; Genuine Productions, a youth business venture; collaborate with visiting artists, and exhibit work in public spaces. |

DIYDS National Youth Video and Film Festival
COMING YOUR WAY NOVEMBER 14, 15, 16, 2008!
Created in 1996, the "Do It Your Damn Self!" National Video and Film Festival (DIYDS) was founded by teens who were motivated by their feelings that youth-produced videos did not have enough outlets to be viewed and appreciated by a wider audience. DIYDS is the longest-running youth-curated film festival in the country, and attracts over 700 youth and adults to public screenings and workshops. The festival provides an outlet for short videos and films created by teens from around the nation. With DIYDS, TMP teens gain valuable experience in critical thinking, media literacy, team building, and public speaking. The festival weekend is a forum for young people to meet and share their common interests in media and its use in promoting and communicating topical issues. The DIYDS Festival has established itself as a national leader in the field of youth media, presenting the freshest voices from urban and rural teens nationwide.
