Something new starting in September.
What can students learn by creating a short film together? 🎬
In the Destination Imagination (DI) Team Film Challenge, students collaborate to turn an original idea into a finished short film while building skills in storytelling, creativity, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork through the DI Creative Process.
Over the course of 8 weeks, teams use everyday recording tools like phones, tablets, and cameras to bring their ideas to life. No special equipment is required.
🎥 Starts September 2026
