Teacher Seminar/Workshops

In 2007 a group of dedicated teachers volunteered to head a committee of CFI Education that would plan two teacher workshops per year, one on a specific topic and one as an aid to teachers who wanted to utilize education screenings during the Mill Valley Film Festival.

Highly praised workshops on How to Read Films and Teaching Animation In the Classroom have been held combining individual exercises, Q&A’s with filmmakers, teacher materials packets, group discussions and screenings of short films, film clips and feature films. The Mill Valley Film Festival teacher previews and workshops have increased teacher awareness and boosted attendance by schools at the festival for MVFF’s free education screenings.
Past workshop packets are available free on request.

The next workshop is in May and will focus on teaching about the Middle East through films.

 

Teacher CE units coming soon.
