More about TFI Youth Screening Series

The aim of the program is to spark debate and galvanize awareness and action in young people around the issues that are affecting them.

Study Guides: Each film will be accompanied by a study guide that will contextualize the issues raised in the film, allowing the discussion to be taken beyond the theater and into classroom and community group settings.

Teacher Trainings: Tribeca Film Institute will also hold periodic teacher trainings where filmmakers and educators will discuss the methods of bringing media into the classroom.

In-School Screenings and Outreach: For students or schools that are unable to attend the screenings at Tribeca Cinemas or would like to reach a larger audience of students with a TYSS screening, four 2007 Tribeca Film Festival films will be available for a limited number of in-school screenings. For these screenings, schools are asked to conduct a larger classroom project in conjunction with the film.
