Global Classroom

The Festival’s Global Classroom program serves as a point of introduction for the next generation of cinema lovers by enriching the high school classroom experience and broadening young people’s understanding of our world through film. With the support of the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation, Oregon Arts Commission, Juan Young Trust, Anne A. Berni Foundation, and Chipotle, the Festival will screen five of this year’s Festival selections for students and teachers at special weekday screenings at the Film Center’s Whitsell Auditorium. Whether watched with a class or independently at the film’s public screenings, Mateo (Mexico), Marie’s Story (France), Giovanni’s Island (Japan), On the Way to School (France), and Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles (US) offer rich cultural experiences.
