Regent Park Film Festival’s School Program provides free media-literacy programming to educators and students across Canada in Grades 1-8. In conjunction with our Annual Film Festival, RPFF’s School Program reaches over 48,000 students both in-person and online each November.

RPFF curates a film series around various themes which address a myriad of social issues affecting Toronto’s diverse student population. We also provide resources and lesson plans for educators to help them facilitate dialogue among their students about these issues, as well as critical conversations about art, creativity, and all students’ lived experiences. These learning tools are created by RPFF’s Education Committee, comprised of teachers, teacher candidates, and individuals with a strong interest in film education.

Our Annual Film Festival is a fun and thought-provoking outing for students, while our online program is accessible to educators and students for two weeks to provide flexibility integrating the programming into existing learning plans in the classroom.
