The Story of Movies is a FREE interdisciplinary film literacy program for classroom use,
created and distributed by The Film Foundation.
These lessons, suitable for grades 5–12, can
be completed in one or two class periods.
"This is an excellent curriculum in a format that keeps the student's interest while learning valuable lessons, insight, and critical thinking."
"I will definitely be able to use your content and love how you are approaching film as a stand-alone genre, not as an addition to or extension of literature."
"Children Who Labor is a great example of a Progressive Era film that shows how Progressives were using this new storytelling form to change hearts and minds. This aligns well with the goals of our curriculum."
“We have enjoyed the curriculum so much—some units have been tougher than others, but we are so lucky to have found these amazing resources.”
"Thank you for sharing this incredible resource, which is very fitting for our district. We have two courses – Film as Literature and Film, Historical Perspectives – as electives. Of course, this can also supplement our social studies and ELA departments."
A program of THE FILM FOUNDATION in partnership with the Directors Guild of America
