School to Screen is a free program that invites grades 6-12 to integrate film into their curriculum. Educators and their classes visit a Film Streams theater to attend a film screening, enjoy a free lunch, and engage in a critical discussion about film as an art form.

2025-2026 Calendar

Program Objectives

Our program teaches film literacy and critical thinking while promoting appreciation of film as an art form.

The Logistics

• Screenings begin at 11am and end no later than 2 pm.
• Each School to Screen screening utilizes Film Streams’ Pedagogy. Each screening will include pre- and post-film guided discussions that are designed to allow students to critically engage with film and make dynamic connections to classroom learning.
• 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.
