Schoolhouse Docs (SHD) is our series of fun and educational documentaries for the whole family at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. SHD films have been rated for students by Missoula educators and offer a variety of age-appropriate and perspective-widening themes, bringing non-fiction film to the next generation. This program provides out-of-school family fun and educational opportunity to a wide range of audience members, introducing young people to global stories and the filmmakers that bring them to light.

The upcoming Schoolhouse Docs program for 2027 will be available in January to browse!
