VOICES IN FILM YOUTH FORUM KICKOFF EVENT

Monday, April 1, 1pm

Glenwood Springs High School

Event Details

For more than 20 years, Aspen Film’s FilmEducates program has dedicated itself to youth education and outreach. We believe that film is a vibrant artistic expression and powerful communication tool, able to open windows to humanity and build bridges of understanding between cultures. We utilize film as a medium to expand worldviews, develop critical viewing skills, cultivate curiosity, and inspire creativity.

To launch the Voices in Film Youth Forum at Aspen Shortsfest, the week kicks off with a special in-school event at the Glenwood Springs High School featuring a selection of festival films, a film made by a young Colorado filmmaker from the Youth Documentary Academy, and a documentary created during Aspen Film’s Summer Film Camp. The interactive program is hosted by students  with a filmmaker Q+A. The event is broadcast live by Grassroots TV so that students and teachers who cannot attend in person may participate remotely.
