BFMC is dedicated to fostering critical thinking, media literacy and visual arts to the young storytellers within our communities. Through innovative educational programs, production courses, workforce development workshops, and accessible resources, we work closely with the students and educators of our Berkshire County public schools to empower them to create and share their stories.
Our Goals
BFMC provides comprehensive media training, hands-on learning and mentorship opportunities. We equip students with the tools they need, while assisting a passionate journey of content creation from ideation to completion of a project. By providing our educators with a curriculum for teaching unique, hands-on-learning and story-telling techniques for all ages, students are given an opportunity that they may not have once had, opening their eyes to a world that they may not have otherwise known. BFMC strives to cultivate a community where individuals are not only consumers, but also critical thinkers and active participants in shaping their own media narratives through building and delivering inspiring and informative content.
Bridging Divides, Healing Communities Youth Film Lab
Working within local schools, we supported teachers to guide students in selecting issues that cause rifts between people and communities, or within society as a whole, so they could explore a topic and present a way forward in a very short film.

The Youth Film Challenge culminated in two public screenings of the top films followed by a Q&A and panel discussion on the topics raised in the films. Filmmakers in attendance were honored for their achievements and participated in the panel discussions.
