Dear media teacher,
We hope you’ve had a terrific summer! As media literacy is increasingly recognized as a vital 21st century core skill for students to have, what you do
as a media teacher couldn’t be more important.
Important Dates
April 18th: Festival Entries Due. We are researching online submission but will have more on that later.
Mid May: We are currently working getting the Cinerama to commit to a day in mid May.
Slogan Contest: We want to develop a slogan for the film festival. Please send us your ideas through our online form.

Kirkland Performance Center Special Event
KPC has acquired special permission from the Manhattan Short Film Festival to bring a screening directly to your school!
Wes Andrews, KPC’s Education Director, and Evan Morgan, Film Studies Major at Seattle University, will visit your school to screen the films of the MSFF (curated for age appropriateness). We will screen the shorts and lead a discussion of the filmic elements in each. Topics include narrative, character, theme, filmic conceit and more. This will give your students a deeper vocabulary in short film and literary appreciation of all forms of dramatic work.
