iMovie lets you get creative to make a movie out of the photographs you shoot and videos you record.
Now you can make your own movies to share what you learn. It's a fun way to incorporate video, images, audio, and text (words) to share your ideas with the world!
A film festival brings people together to watch movies, or films, and to have conversations about what they saw. This film festival's theme was about the environment.

For ideas, explore the South Bronx Environmental Film Festival (SBxEFF) page.
