Coolidge Education

Coolidge Education

Film is an art form with the power not only to entertain, but also to inform, engage, and build community. The Coolidge is pleased to offer educational programming, using film as a window into other cultures, eras, and experiences.

We offer various film education programs including multi-week classes focused on a particular subject, one-night seminars all about select films screening, and post-screening discussions.
