Curated films for students at Doc Edge Festival - free screenings

Classroom resources Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury

Posted: 04 June 2024
Notice reference #: 1HAgrM

During the annual Doc Edge Festival, we offer our secondary and tertiary students free daytime screenings of selected documentaries, specifically curated for educational purposes. Book your school in for a free documentary screening now!

Participating schools will choose the curated film(s) and bring along their classes to watch documentaries in the cinema. Prior to the screening, an educational kit about the film will be provided to prepare the students for the subject matter. Following the screening, there is often a Q&A session with visiting filmmakers, which provides the students the opportunity to engage and gain insights into the backstory of the characters or the filmmaking process.

Beyond the Festival period, we run a Virtual Classroom, an online screening platform, accessible to all schools across the country.
