The "Instant Oatmeal Filmmaking" workshop will challenge participants to work in teams to make films reflecting Quaker values in action based on BFF criteria. After a brief review of the rules, each team will pick a testimony out of hat and be given a camera and 60 minutes to brainstorm and film the movie. Editing will be done "in camera." Below is an example film from a previous workshop:

FCE-FAHE triennial conference brings together educators from friends schools under the umbrella of the Friends Council on Education and Friends Association of Higher Education. The first time I attended this conference was fifteen years ago at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana. It was also the first year of the film festival and with Brooklyn Friends School's blessing, I took the opportunity to participate in the conference and promote the BFF. I'll never forget it. There was a plenary session presented by four distinguished Quaker historians covering the four centuries of Quaker history. In the middle of the 18th century there was a tornado warning issued so the entire conference had to go and sit in the basement.
This year's conference may not be as dramatic, but I'm sure there will be much to learn and relationships to build. Most of us are looking forward to a well-earned summer break but I encourage all of my colleagues to consider attending this important and fun conference.
