Palm Springs International Film Society Expands Youth Programs in the Coachella Valley

The Palm Springs International Film Society is expanding its youth programs for students in the Coachella Valley.

Alumni from the Palm Springs International ShortFest and industry professionals will lead “Filmmaker In The Classroom” workshops to offer insight into the world of cinema and deepen the society’s commitment to educational programs. Additionally, the Society will host jury opportunities for students.

Chairman Nachattar Chandi told KESQ, “Over the next two weeks, we will have workshops set up at nine different high schools throughout the Coachella Valley, and at the end of this month, we will have doubled our 2023 student reach. Beyond watching films, students will learn to analyze and discuss the movies and will be able to select honorees for both of our festivals. All content is age-appropriate, family-friendly and open to all students throughout the Coachella Valley.”
