We’re excited to welcome educators and students back for another inspiring year at the 48th Mill Valley Film Festival!
This year, school groups are once again invited to attend the Festival free of charge, with a curated selection of local and international film titles available exclusively for educational audiences. Programs will be offered for grades 1–12, as well as programs designed specifically for colleges and universities.
Each screening will feature filmmaker Q&As and free curriculum resources to deepen classroom engagement.
The full MVFF Education lineup will be announced on Wednesday, September 3rd. Be sure to visit our CAFILM Education webpage to explore the program and register your class early as screenings fill up fast!
We can’t wait to see you and your students at our theaters for the 48th Mill Valley Film Festival!
SCHOOL SCREENINGS
A selection of narrative features, documentaries, and short film programs is carefully curated from the general Festival program and offered free of charge to K-12 schools and colleges around the Bay Area and across the country, as weekday matinees in the theater and online. Screenings are followed by Q&As with filmmakers and subject experts, and supplemented with free curriculum resources including film-analysis toolkits, lesson plans, and discussion guides to help teachers incorporate the films into their class curriculum.
FILMMAKERS GO TO SCHOOL
For those schools and students unable to travel to the theater, we offer an additional interactive experience through our Filmmakers Go to School program. Throughout the Festival (and through the school year), CAFILM Education staff bring filmmaker guests into the community to meet with students in their classrooms and school auditoriums, or at nearby venues, for in-depth discussions about the art and craft of filmmaking.
