The Schoolhouse Film Festival celebrates teachers and the power of teaching. The festival was launched in 2007 under the leadership of ISU’s Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology. Its planning committee includes faculty members from history, music, arts technology, cinema studies and other disciplines.
The festival is held in autumn at the Normal Theatre. The first festival included both classic films (“Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” “Blackboard Jungle”) and more recent works (“Stand and Deliver,” “Chalk”). Look for the second installment of the Schoolhouse Film Festival in November 2008.
