Film Festival Organizer

In this task students assume the role of a film festival programmer planning a film festival with a literary twist. Students research films and choose five to six that to include in the festival. Each film in must connect to literature, and the group of films must connect to each other in some way (for example, all are modern adaptations of a classical piece of literature). Students create a publishable schedule including justifications for why they chose each film.

Note: This task is not accompanied by a rubric. We suggest teachers/schools select an appropriate rubric from this resource bank or your school/district materials.
