IWFF Youth Matinee Program
2023 Festival Updates for Teachers & Professors

Every year, 3000+ students from the Western Montana area participate in the International Wildlife Film Festival Youth Matinee Program. Films from our 2023 IWFF program are screened based on age appropriateness, and programs are complemented with presentations from filmmakers, scientists, and even special animal guests. The matinee screenings are FREE of charge to attend. In addition, limited funding is available to cover transportation costs associated with traveling to the matinees.
IWFF Coordinator, Lizzie Archer, is available to advise how best to get your student, classroom, or organization involved.
Email Lizzie at [email protected] for more information regarding the IWFF Youth Matinee Program. We love connecting with our community educators and hope to hear from you soon.
***IWFF’s Youth Matinee Program will follow MCPS and University of Montana Covid policies for all film screenings. Any updates on policies will be sent to all participants 3 weeks prior to the event.***
