Mountainfilm on Tour's education program introduces students in K-12 public schools to essential environmental, cultural and social issues with age-appropriate film programs curated by a Mountainfilm staff member.
Films are developed by teachers and align with national standards. They can be downloaded and include filmmaker interviews, discussion questions, resources, activities and more, aimed at engaging students and instructors in dialogue and in-depth exploration of identified topics.
For middle- and high-school students, our playlists focus on compelling educational and inspirational documentary short films to get students thinking. These playlists target films that are timely, regionally relevant, or topics not commonly discussed or seen.
For younger students K-5th grade, we offer a fun, engaging playlist with light educational content, focused primarily on outstanding, entertaining short films sourced from our festival.
Your contribution supports 21st century learning and allows students an educational opportunity that may otherwise not be available to them through our endowed scholarship fund. Your generous donation makes all of this possible. Thank you in advance.
