Teaching for Change is partnering with Filmfest DC: The Washington, D.C. International Film Festival (April 18 – April 28) for a thirteenth year to spread the word about the international film festival and to bring filmmakers for several films for in-person visits to D.C. classrooms, after students have viewed the films in class. Additionally, some of the selected films MAY be available for a classroom screening (without a filmmaker visit).

Read about prior year filmmaker visits.

The deadline to request a filmmaker visit is Monday, April 1. Availability of films for classroom screening is limited. Tickets for public in-person screenings (often with filmmakers present) at E Street Cinema in downtown DC are limited, and requests will be evaluated on a rolling basis. While most Teaching for Change programs are for the D.C. metro area, the funding for these visits is limited to schools located in the District of Columbia.
