About the Film Festival

Filmfest DC, a festival of stories

65 films • 30 countries • 12 days • 1 amazing film festival

Teaching for Change is partnering with Filmfest DC: The Washington, D.C. International Film Festival (April 19-30) for a twelfth year to spread the word about the international film festival and to bring films and filmmakers for several films into D.C. classrooms. Students gain a lot from viewing the documentaries, preparing questions, and discussing the film with the visitors.

Filmfest DC is offering tickets for classes to see a specific film during the festival and offering opportunities for filmmakers to visit a class after the class has viewed the film. The deadline to request a visit is April 3.
