Darkroom or digital? No need to choose. At Williston, you’ll find the facilities to develop and print photographic images, and use professional imaging software to master digital photography. If you see yourself behind the video camera, you’ll find opportunities in and out of the classroom. With the latest equipment at hand, you’ll develop fundamental technical skills and have a chance to delve into visual storytelling, exploring scripts, storyboards, and pre-production. You could even submit an entry to our annual Williston Film Festival.

Each year, an outstanding group of guest documentary photographers, photojournalists, commercial photographers, photo editors, and others involved in the field, visit to show examples of their work and offer insight and opportunity for discussion as part of the school’s Photographers’ Lecture Series.

The annual Williston Northampton School Film Festival showcases the work of student filmmakers from Williston and beyond. Students from high schools all over New England submit films for consideration and judges award prizes in a number of categories.
