Andrew Douglas
Bryn Mawr Film Institute Director of Education
Bryn Mawr, PA
Andrew became the first director of education at Bryn Mawr Film Institute (BMFI), a non-profit cinema arts center near Philadelphia, in July 2005. Since then, he has developed the organization’s educational offerings, which now include programs for school groups and various community organizations, a summer filmmaking workshop for high school students, and a film studies curriculum offered at BMFI and the Philadelphia Museum of Art for students of all ages that has presented over 200 distinct courses, series, and seminars on a range of topics. In all, BMFI educates more than 4500 people about film each year.
Andrew earned a Ph.D. in Film Studies from Northwestern University, has presented papers at the annual conferences of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, and has written for The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television and Jump Cut, among other publications. He has been used as an excuse for his grandmother to meet Robert Redford and was dressed down by Harrison Ford, whom Andrew still thinks is America’s greatest living movie star.
