Continuing Education and Workshops for Professionals

The Modern School of Film, a popular series that invites special guests to present and discuss a favorite movie, comes to IFC Center in 2013! Launched in early 2012, The Modern School of Film programs a series of screenings and discussions with the goal of bringing concentrated film-talk back into cinemas, with celebrated guests hand-picking and discussing a film which, quite simply, inspires them and their work. Led by founder Robert Milazzo, MSF confirms that you don't need to be a teacher to teach, and you don't need to be in school to be a student. More information is available at modernschooloffilm.com.
