Mountainfilm for Students
Our mission is to use the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. As a primary element of this mission, our student programs offer engaging content featuring inspiring stories to ignite the imagination and broaden perspectives.
Mountainfilm for Students is available via an online virtual platform to provide educators with film programs curated by grade level and individual films accompanied by classroom materials. A downloadable file with supporting tech and emcee notes can be available for assembly-style screenings. These resources are available at no cost to K-12 public schools.
If you are an educator at a K-12 public school and would like to bring Mountainfilm for Students to your school, please complete our application below, and a Mountainfilm staff member will contact you at the email provided.
If you are with a private institution and are interested in bringing Mountainfilm to your school, consider hosting a Mountainfilm on Tour show.
Additional student programs offered by Mountainfilm:
Regional Outreach
Through grant and donor support, we connect with K-12 public schools throughout the Four Corners region to offer free film screenings presented by a Mountainfilm staff member when possible. If you are a teacher or administrator at a public school in southwest Colorado or the Four Corners area and are interested in hosting a screening at your school, for more information.
Festival Camp
Mountainfilm collaborates with Telluride Academy to create a unique festival experience for local and regional students. This interactive program gives students unique access to films, filmmakers and festival events. The weekend culminates at the awards ceremony where the students present the Student Choice Award, including a $1,000 cash prize to the festival film that they feel will most inspire their generation. Enrollment for Mountainfilm 2025 Festival Camp will begin in January 2025.
