REGISTRATION FOR THE MVFF47 EDUCATION PROGRAM NOW OPEN!
MVFF Education offers FREE live and virtual field trips for students around the Bay Area and across the country to attend the 47th Mill Valley Film Festival. Join us October 3-13 for another season of great new films and special guests!
We are excited to share the festival with you and your students, with 13 different narrative features, documentaries, and short programs to choose from. The MVFF Education program includes:
-
- In-theater and online screenings of films curated from the full festival program
- Live Q&As with filmmakers, film subjects, and subject experts
- Curriculum resources for teachers and students, including lesson plans, discussion guides, and activity toolkits
- Filmmakers Go to School visits to Bay Area classrooms for festival guests from around the world to meet and speak with students
IN-THEATER SCREENINGS: OCTOBER 4 & 7-11
All in-person screenings will take place at the Smith Rafael Film Center in downtown San Rafael. We encourage schools within walking distance of the theaters or with access to private or public transportation to attend in person. Seats are limited for all screenings, so please register early!
We are able to offer a limited number of buses on a first come, first served basis. Please specify your transportation needs when you register for your screenings.
ONLINE SCREENINGS: OCTOBER 3-13
All online screenings will be available for streaming after the regular festival dates this year, from October 3–13. All curriculum resources will be available indefinitely on the CAFILM Education Online platform and the CAFILM Education website. All films have capacity limits, so we encourage you to register early.
FILMMAKERS GO TO SCHOOL
For Bay Area school groups that cannot travel to the theater, we offer an interactive program where filmmakers can visit your school. Throughout the Festival, CAFILM Education staff members take filmmaker guests to school campuses to meet with students in their classrooms or auditoriums for live, in-depth discussions about their films and the art and craft of filmmaking. If you are interested in a filmmaker visit to your school, please fill out this visit request form.
