Help Support Our Education Program and Get a TFI Notebook

New York City public school students go back to school on September 6th, just over two weeks away. Here at TFI, that means we are gearing up for a new season of our Youth Screening Series and our in-school and after-school arts education program, Tribeca Teaches.   Want to start your new school year off right? From now until September 6th, Visit our Support Us page to donate now. All funds raised through September 6th will go to our youth arts education programs. The Tribeca Youth Screening Series is a free-of-charge program that brings New York City public middle and high school students and teachers to screenings at Tribeca Cinemas and during the Tribeca Film Festival. Films are chosen for their educational relevance, but also for their cinematic merits. Students are exposed to independent films, filmmakers, and subject matter not typically explored in mainstream Hollywood fare, and teachers are supplied with a film text that can serve as a unique supplement to their humanities curriculum. In order to facilitate further study of films, TFI creates original study guides and supplemental educator materials for each film. Film screenings are followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew from the film.   Tribeca Teaches is a program that brings the art of filmmaking into the classroom and enriches the educational experiences of students at no cost to schools. Through a series of in-school residencies and after school programs, Tribeca Teaches assists students in developing film appreciation, media literacy, and filmmaking skills through project-based learning.

So what are you waiting for? Donate by Sept. 6 and show your support of the arts this new school year.
