Zoom School Screenings

Each year the Wexner Center presents Zoom, a family-friendly international film festival where young people can catch a glimpse of youth perspectives from all over the globe through movies not available at most theaters. School groups are invited to a special school-day screening of a select film from the festival. This year's screening is My Skinny Sister (2015), recommended for grades 6–10.

School groups attending films receive learning materials that help students and teachers explore topics from the films and find out more about the countries from where the films originate. We also offer discussions with Wexner Center educators after some films. Bus subsidies are available.

My Skinny Sister

(Sanna Lenken, 2015, Sweden)

My Skinny Sister offers a novel look at eating disorders—by observing the issue through the eyes of a sensitive 12-year-old sibling. When she discovers that her older sister, a beautiful figure skater, has been starving herself, she's faced with a moral dilemma: should she keep her sister's secret, or seek her parents' help? Featuring an impressive performance by newcomer Rebecka Josephson, the granddaughter of Ingmar Bergman actor Erland Josephson. In Swedish with English subtitles. (95 mins., DCP)
