Teaching for Change is partnering with Filmfest DC: The Washington, D.C. International Film Festival (June 4-13) for a tenth year to spread the word about the international film festival and to bring films and filmmakers for several films into D.C. virtual classrooms.

Students gain a lot from viewing the documentaries, preparing questions, and discussing the film with the visitors. While most Teaching for Change programs are for the D.C. metro area, the funding for these visits is limited to schools located in the District of Columbia.

Filmfest DC is offering tickets for classes to see a specific film during the festival and offering opportunities for filmmakers to virtually visit a class after the class has viewed the film.
