SCREEN EDUCATION AT THE AFI SILVER THEATRE AND CULTURAL CENTER

The American Film Institute's Silver Theatre and Cultural Center offers the Educational Screenings Program (ESP) for Washington area public and private Schools.

The Educational Screening Program provides the link between the school curriculum and the film, video and print materials the AFI can access. Teachers can bring their students to the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center to view films related to the curricula to inspire them to an active engagement with academic subject matter and learn critical viewing skills in the process.

Who is the ESP audience?

Students and their teachers of all grade levels, subject areas and abilities.

What does ESP provide?

An experienced educator and AFI support staff to work with teachers to select an appropriate film and create the lesson support materials such as readings, worksheets, speakers and teaching guides. Each screening is customized to the needs and objectives of the curricular connections.
