The Film Society of Lincoln Center announces new 2016 initiatives as part of its education program, Film in Education, partnering with cultural and educational organizations citywide to provide teacher training in visual storytelling through film.
As part of Lincoln Center Education's Boro-Linc program, the Film Society also created a series of film appreciation events for families and teens at Staten Island's Snug Harbor Cultural Center and at the Center for Family Life in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in March. Boro-Linc brings free performances, workshops, and family-oriented programs by Lincoln Center resident organizations to neighborhoods across New York's outer boroughs.
