Whether you’re an experienced film teacher seeking fresh inspiration or stepping into the classroom for the first time, ISTA offers the clarity, creativity, and global support you need to thrive.
Through our creative ISTA-led training, we equip film educators with the tools, strategies, and inspiration they need to thrive in the classroom.

Our global network includes working filmmakers, IB examiners, curriculum designers, and classroom practitioners. They bring technical skill, industry insight, and a passion for empowering young storytellers.
Every ISTA film experience mirrors the filmmaking process—hands-on, collaborative, and creatively driven. Workshops build practical skills, spark experimentation, and deepen understanding through active production.
We combine practical tasks, conceptual thinking, and critical reflection. Participants learn by making, analysing, and exploring film from multiple angles.
ISTA connects film and media educators and students through a worldwide network. We share resources, foster inclusive practice, and build lasting creative relationships.
