More about TFI Youth Screening Series
The TFI Youth Screening Series is a yearlong presentation of films that serves NYC youth and educators with access to free, relevant programming. The aim of the program is to spark debate and galvanize awareness and action in young people around the issues that are affecting them.
Arts Engine and the Tribeca Film Institute have partnered for the second season of the yearlong TFI Youth Screening Series, which runs through May 2008. On a monthly basis, a Media That Matters short film has been paired with a feature film curated by Tribeca Film Institute and presented to young people and educators in and around New York City. The educators receive a screening package with the short film and accompanying Discussion and Take Action Guides to use in their classrooms.
The event will take place on April 25th from 5-8pm at DCTV on 87 Lafayette Street. Space is limited, so please email festival@artsengine.net to RSVP or with any questions you may have. We hope to see you there!
