ICFF Youth is the annual film program of ICFF that promotes film as an art form using the platform of international cinema, while providing students (ages 8 to 18) with exposure to a variety of cultures and languages. The program includes feature films and animations. It provides educators with an alternate teaching strategy that respects a variety of learning styles.
The mission of ICFF Youth is two-fold:
- To use cinema as a tool to enrich students’ analytical and critical skills, while also learning about key elements of the art of filmmaking. The power of moving images will provide the students with exposure to a real-life experience within a multimedia and a multicultural context.
- To give students the opportunity to develop their knowledge of international languages and culture while enjoying the best of contemporary international cinema.
