Mountainfilm for Students

Our mission is to use the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. As a primary element of this mission, our student programs offer engaging content featuring inspiring stories to ignite the imagination and broaden perspectives.

Mountainfilm for Students is available via an online virtual platform to provide educators with film programs curated by grade level and individual films accompanied by classroom materials. A downloadable file with supporting tech and emcee notes can be available for assembly-style screenings. These resources are available at no cost to public K-12 schools. 

And this isn't just for the classroom. Any educator working with younger students, including outdoor and experiential ed, can use it too. Planning a backpacking trip? Front-load the journey with a film or two, and your group hits the trail with real stories to talk through together.

If you are an educator and would like to bring Mountainfilm for Students to your community, please complete our application below, and a Mountainfilm staff member will contact you at the email provided.
