full frame institute

The Board of Directors of the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival has created an Institute to house the many outreach and educational components of the Full Frame organization. Many of these components take place at the Festival itself, but are highly mobile and often have a life beyond and outside the four days of the Festival arena.

Full Frame was created with the mission to draw attention to the ideas and values inherent in documentary filmmaking. By creating a forum-like environment to discuss the messages and challenges in the films we exhibit, we bring people together from diverse backgrounds to focus on issues central to our lives.

Using film as a catalyst — a language that is shared by all — we connect people in an effort to create greater understanding, heal conflicts and strive towards peace.
