FilmTalks for Schools
Marquee FilmTalks and our FilmTalks for Schools exist because our founder, Illinois teacher Steven Frenzel, found that movies are an incredibly effective way to engage students and explore important topics in an entertaining way.
We have FilmTalks for Schools in four categories:
- All School Topics (grades 5 through high school),
- History/Social Studies Topics (grades 5 through high school), and
- Film Class Topics (grades 7 through high school).
