Washington, DC's largest and longest-running international film festival celebrates four decades of global cinema.

Teaching for Change is partnering with Filmfest DC: The Washington, D.C. International Film Festival (April 16–26, 2026) for a 15th year to bring films and filmmakers into D.C. classrooms. Students gain a lot from viewing the documentaries, preparing questions, and discussing the film with the visitors. Filmfest DC is offering a limited number of opportunities for filmmakers to visit a class after the class has viewed their film April 20–24.
