School to Screen is a free program that invites grades 6-12 to integrate film into their curriculum. Educators and their classes visit the Ruth Sokolof Theater to attend a film screening, enjoy a free lunch, and engage in a critical discussion about film with Film Streams’ Education Manager, Paul Sanchez.

2023-2024 Calendar

Program Objectives

Our program teaches film literacy and critical thinking while expanding appreciation for film as an art form.

The Logistics

• Screenings begin at 11am and are followed by a guided post-show discussion ending no later than 2pm.
• Guided post-show discussions with Education Manager and community leaders allow students to critically engage the medium through the lens of art, subjectivity, culture, and representation.
• Students and teachers are treated to a free, healthy lunch.
• Teachers are given supplemental materials like discussion guides, worksheets, and activities for each film in the series to utilize in the classroom before and after their visit.
