Materials are not required. Teacher MUST provide an accurate headcount of students attending the Film Field Trip 2 weeks prior to the visit.
We will not run a Film Field Trip with less than 25 students. Our capacity is 55 (including students and staff). Once a date is determined, we will not accommodate changes to date except in the case of Covid-related findings, snow days or late starts/early dismissals.
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 by prioritizing students" mental wellness and boundaries. Then we provide some context for the film, highlight Media Literacy skills, an introduction to our organization (exposing students to the concept of using art as a lens for understanding the world around them). Next we watch the film (45 minutes in length). Following the screening, a BIPOC, trauma-informed facilitator leads the group through a 20-30 minute student-centered dialogue. Schools may also chose to participate in a guided gallery tour.
