By the end of a Film Field Trip, the following will be true statements for students: "I can feel empowered to make a difference in my own community, and learn tips about how to be an effective leader for social change."I can be an culturally and civicly engaged person in my school, neighborhood, and city.""I can experience film and art, and have the opportunity to share in open and honest dialogue about my experience.""I can have agency in my own community as an advocate for change." "I can view artwork and film and work to understand the meaning and messages that the director/artist intended."
Film Field Trips is a unique education program that exposes students to new ideas through film and discussion. We begin our FFT with an introduction to our organization, exposing students to the concept of using art as a lens for understanding the world around them. Each school will screen a film in full. Films range in length from 45-90 min. Screening is followed by a 15-20 minute student-centered dialogue led by an Anti-Defamation League trained facilitator. Schools may also chose to participate in a guided gallery tour. This program is free to students and chaperones. Real Art Ways is able to provide bus transportation for qualifying Hartford Public schools on a first-come, first-served basis.
