In collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), these three guides for Searching for Bobby Fisher (1993), Mad Hot Ballroom (2005), and Finding Forrester (2000) align with the strands of the Moving Image Blueprint and also connect to an examination of New York City culture, stories, and neighborhoods. The three guides align with elementary, middle, and high school grade levels.
