Our Vision
IOFF's vision for the Free Student Education Program is to:
- Extend our mission to many more students through road shows in the Bay Area and beyond
- Provide a "live experience" of our film screenings and Q&A sessions with filmmakers and scientists in real time
- Create a competition and awards program for best student films, serving to inspire budding documentary filmmakers
- Establish IOFF as a working forum for Bay Area film studies and environmental studies programs
- Provide students from diverse backgrounds and schools the opportunity to gather and learn — from each other and from experts from around the world
When you donate to the festival, your dollars help us reach students around the Bay and Northern California.
