About Teen Screen
Since 2005, Teen Screen has offered free educational experiences that allow middle and high school students to explore important, often difficult, topics through film. Over 25,000 students and teachers per year have joined together in movie theaters and in classrooms to watch and discuss movies of historical, cultural, and social significance.
This is made possible in part through the Mid Atlantic Folk and Traditional Arts - Community Projects program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

"For the past ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Teen Screen to bring powerful quality films and meaningful conversations to students in my classroom, in theaters, and even virtually during the pandemic. Both their short and feature-length films have enriched my curriculum, helping students connect deeply with complex topics and real-world experiences. I especially appreciate the guest speakers Teen Screen incorporates into their programs. These speakers have been transformative for my students, providing authentic voices and personal stories that leave a lasting impact."

“I had heard about the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who stood up against gun violence, but it was very interesting to see the process unfold in the movie. It was a wake-up call to see that a shooter might actually be a problem in a suburban school that is like my school. It made my friends and I sit up and listen better to the messages in the film, such as really knowing your classmates, taking care of your classmates, knowing emergency procedures, etc. But even more important, the voices of young people should be heard. We have to live with the results of our actions, and we have responsibility to make changes to our world, rather than leave it to someone else. This movie inspired me to think about where I fit in and how I can use my voice. Some things I can do are talking to others about important issues and writing to the newspaper and to political representatives.”
—High School Student, Montour High School.
