The Jacob Burns Film Center is not just an arthouse for challenging cinema.

Groundbreaking education programs in film and visual literacy are offered for Grades 3 through 12. From its curriculum-based programs that support the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts and the English Language Arts to its after-school enrichment opportunities, the JBFC serves over 15,000 students every school year.

Thanks to the generous support of corporations, foundations, individuals and members, 55% of these students are from underserved school districts and participate absolutely free of charge.
