FilmSlam Student Film Festival Connecting the world of film to your world in the classroom. March 10 - 14, 2008 9:00 am - 12:00 noon Students from Northeast Ohio high schools have the extraordinary opportunity to see new films by some of the world's most innovative filmmakers. This year's films explore everything from environmental issues, to the highly-competitive sport of jump rope, to life on the run. FilmSlam is also proud to present Scenarios USA, a program that uses writing and filmmaking to foster youth leadership, advocacy, and self-expression in teens. Participating teachers will receive study guides with background information on each film, discussion topics, curriculum links, and an introduction to media literacy. Also, filmmakers and other presenters will speak briefly and answer questions following each screening. Films included in this year's FilmSlam are: And Along Came Tourists JUMP! The Planet (USA) Postcards from Leningrad (Venezuela) Up the Yangtze (Canada) French Shorts Program (France) Short Subjects (International) |
