Wild & Scenic Film Festival School Program

Inspiring Youth Engagement & Activism

We shape learning experiences meant to spark intellectual and cultural connectivity while promoting the overarching value of the arts to society.

Youth and teens explore the nature of creativity in all its forms through encounters designed to hone critical thinking skills while shaping their understanding of the world.

Wild & Scenic for the Next Generation

Sharing the Festival with Schools

Wild & Scenic Film Festival’s school programs present film programming for over 3,000 students from our local community and neighboring counties. SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival Education Team curates age-appropriate, engaging and inspiring content for TK-2, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th and 9th-12th grade film screenings. Essentially, each student audience gets their very own film festival!

In years past, students have had the opportunity to see their films on the big screen- TK-8th graders at the Del Oro Theatre and High Schoolers at school sites. An important part of our school programs, the Wild & Scenic education team creates film-specific, standards-based curriculum for participating educators from local elementary, middle, and high schools for further classroom enrichment. Our Wild & Scenic education team offers a wide array of low-cost programs for audiences throughout our community.
