Strong Leads Fall 2023

Thank you for your interest in Strong Leads!

Strong Leads: A Film Seminar for High School Girls is a free after-school program spotlighting films by women. It is designed for 10th, 11th and 12th girls of all identities including gender-nonconforming youth. A presentation of the Belcourt’s education and engagement program, Strong Leads explores gender representation in cinema, in the Hollywood establishment, and in film discourse. Students will meet at the Belcourt Wednesdays, Oct 18-Nov 15, 4-7:30pm, to watch films and discuss with their peers.

Applications are due Wed, Oct 11.
Participants will be notified Thu, Oct 12.

Participation in Strong Leads is by application only. It is designed for students only and is meant to be taken in its entirety (no single sessions). Please note that the seminar is for 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. No exceptions, please.

Note: Strong Leads features high-quality films designed to spark conversation about important issues. Because of that, some films contain adult situations, profanity, drug/alcohol use, nudity, sexual situations, and violence.
