Teens unleash their inner Spielberg at Dallas Film Society summer camp

Summer is usually the time when teenagers head to the movie theater to escape the heat, turn off their brains and catch the latest blockbuster. But for those interested in film who are looking for more of a challenge, the Dallas Film Society and SMU offer summer workshops to help them hone their skills.

The two entities are holding three separate two-day film workshops July 9-16 for students aged 14-18. Each workshop will have a different theme:

Storytelling for the Screen, at which participants learn the intricacies of screenwriting
Production Boot Camp, detailing the technical aspects of on-set filmmaking such as cinematography, lighting and sound
Clowning for the Camera, where students learn how to emote using just their faces and body movements

Campers can enroll in individual sessions or take all three; a pretty significant discount kicks in with the latter choice. Individual sessions are $110 for Dallas Film Society members or $135 for non-members, while enrolling in all three only costs $255 for members and $330 for non-members.

Anyone interested is advised not to dawdle. With only 35 slots per session, space is extremely limited, and registration is only open through June 10. Students can register via the Dallas Film Society website or contact Renée Contreras, director of education, outreach and membership, at rcontreras@dallasfilm.org.

Students learn all the intricacies of filmmaking, from screenwriting to set lighting.

Peter Gabriel will play at American Airlines Center on October 19.

English rock singer Peter Gabriel has added 13 new North American cities to his worldwide "i/o - The Tour," including a stop at Dallas' American Airlines Center on Thursday, October 19.

The massive tour, Gabriel's first solo jaunt since the "Back to Front Tour" that took place from late 2012 to early 2014, kicks off in Krakow, Poland on May 18. The Dallas concert will be one of the three final dates on the 48-city tour, alongside Austin on October 18 and Houston on October 21.

The tour is in support of the new album, i/o, Gabriel's first new release since 2011. Although an exact date for the album's release has not been announced, new music from the album is being released on the full moon of each month in 2023; the now-available song for March is called "Playing For Time."

On the tour, fans will get to see Gabriel playing new material from the new album, as well as hits, fan favorites, and the unexpected. Gabriel will be joined by regular bandmates Tony Levin, David Rhodes, and Manu Katché.

Gabriel got his start as the original lead singer of the band Genesis, with which he released six albums in the early 1970s. He left for a solo career in 1975, releasing his first album in 1977. The pinnacle of his career came with the 1986 album So, which contained the indelible hits "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," and "Don't Give Up" with Kate Bush.

The general onsale for the newly added shows will start on Friday, March 24 at 10 am at LiveNation.com. Fans will have access to a special presale through Peter’s Fan Club mailing list, starting on Tuesday, March 21.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on Wednesday, March 22 at 10 am until Thursday, March 23 at 6 pm through the Citi Entertainment program.

Fans can also purchase VIP packages, which may include premium tickets, access to the pre-show lounge, limited edition gift items, and more
