SIFF Education
SIFF Education is kicking off a variety of new programs for the fall quarter, as well as continuing popular workshops and events. There is a lot to get to know about SIFF Education, and below you will find an overview of the wide array of programs being offered. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun and learning, and I invite you to share these opportunities with others because we don't want these classes to be the best kept secret in town.
