Film Field Trips
We are excited to offer Film Field Trips to Hartford area schools during the week! Sign up here!
Since 2005, we have engaged with more than 27,000 students on our Film Field Trips.
On a Film Field Trip, students come to the Real Art Ways cinema to watch documentary films on specific social issues. After the screening, a Real Art Ways educator facilitates a discussion, encouraging students to investigate the issues raised in the film and relate these issues to their own lives.
Why bring your students on a Film Field Trip?
Here are some of the many reasons why teachers choose to bring their students on a Film Field Trip year after year.
-To support and deepen your anti-racism education initiatives
-To build and support an equity-oriented, culturally-responsive classroom
– To engage students in conversation about their own capacity to affect positive social change.
-To empower your students to change the world
We will also continue to offer Virtual Film Field Trips for districts not able to attend in person (please note in the request below which you would like to book.)

“In school these topics are sugar coated. The lyrics told the story.” 11th Grader, Kinsella Magnet Schoo, 2024.
