"Film Festival" consists of 70 films produced for North American and British public schools and libraries between the 1950s and 1980s with the goal of educating students about world cultures and societies. The films were originally commissioned by various agencies including advertisement firms, tourist boards, various universities, the United Nations, and the US Department of Education. 

"Film Festival" is organized to run from 1 to 2 months, allowing audiences to attend 2 to 3 screenings per day. In this context, the viewer is encouraged to realize the ways in which this type of educational programming was developed from within the frame of a particular worldview. In this way, "Film Festival" questions the concept and imaging of the "other." It discloses the mechanisms of cultural production as a reflection of the identity of a dominant group, which through different practices of representation defines the general pattern of culture and establishes the regulation of social conduct.

The work presents an overarching program with several sub-programs, which through the relationships established between the films, deconstructs their original cultural context. This project is not just aimed at presenting the content of these films as found documentation, or as representational exploitations of folklore. Rather, through the differing juxtapositions of the films in each program, it intends to suggest multiple relationships and comparisons as a mode of raising new and more ethical approaches to the material.

There are 4 versions of "Film Festival", comprised of a total of 280 films (that's 70 films per version). Offering multiple versions of the festival serves to provide broader insight into the educational paradigm in which they were produced. The program of one version of the festival may at first appear impartial, balanced, and comprehensive it its approach to the representation of world cultures. However, upon encountering diverse programs and numerous films of this type, one becomes of aware of an insidiously Britannic-American perspective that is almost propagandistic.
