Big Sky Film Institute's Native Filmmaker Initiative Film Club 2023 Questionnaire
Big Sky Film Institute (BSFI) is in its sixth year of working to become a useful resource for schools to gain free access to documentary films about Native American and Indigenous culture and films made by Native filmmakers. BSFI is acquiring educational content and creating curricula, including films with classroom guides and curricula, and working with educators to bring this content into the classroom for another year starting in the fall of 2023. This opportunity is provided at no cost for all interested participating teachers and educators, grades 6-12 (though open to younger grades at teacher's discretion).

To assist BSFI in selecting relevant and engaging content and curating discussion, please complete the short questionnaire:
