These programs — which include screenings of family-friendly films with Q + As, interactive cinema experiences, hands-on workshops, opportunities to engage directly with filmmakers and industry professionals, and more — seek to provide accessible and enlightening film experiences as a resource for families all over the Bay Area. SFFILM’s Family Programming utilizes the SFFILM Education team’s expertise in developing media literacy and critical thinking skills, illuminating diverse world cultures, and inspiring a lifelong appreciation of cinema. Discussion guides and other teaching tools specific to the films being screened are frequently made available to event attendees to help parents navigate post-screening conversations with their kids. These screenings are a great group activity for the whole family — scheduled primarily on weekends, free of charge whenever possible, and with content appropriate for kids from kindergarten to high school, 5–18.
