Background on Global Lens 2005
Each year The Global Film Initiative (GFI) offers ten feature length films from developing countries to be presented through the Global Lens series in collaboration with museums, film societies and other cultural institutions across the United States. Several of these films are selected each year for screening by high school and college students, as part of the stated mission of GFI to promote deeper understanding of the world's cultures through cinema. For each of these films a discussion guide is developed through an institute that brings together teachers, film curators and museum educators. The goal is to engage students with stories and cultural settings with which they may be unfamiliar, by providing the background and context for understanding. All screenings are free, provided at no cost to teachers or schools.
