MIFF Next Gen Program: Click Here to Book Now
The Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is one of the world’s oldest film festivals, as well as a Melbourne cultural institution.
From 22 July to 8 August Next Gen once again hits MIFF’s screens, providing an eye-opening, imaginative and fun program of film catering to young people – along with their teachers and families.
Most of the films shown as part of Next Gen will never be screened commercially in Australia, making the program a unique opportunity for young people to experience the endless possibilities of international cinema.
These intelligent and entertaining films give developing cinephiles an insight into the world around us. In addition to exposing students to fascinating international stories, the content of the program has been carefully chosen to inspire spirited discussion in your classroom.
These films are a great resource to support the teaching of English, History, Dance, Arts & Culture, Media & Communication, Studies of Society and Environment, and can be used to achieve learning outcomes across all of these disciplines. Study guides for the films are available when booking.
Teachers of LOTE will find the program of particular interest, with Next Gen featuring films in Czech, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Farsi. For more info on teaching languages, please visit <http://www.mltav.asn.au>.
All foreign-language films are screening in their original language with English subtitles.
