The Mary Pickford Institute for Film Education
The Mary Pickford Institute is a non-profit organization in Los Angeles dedicated to cultivating awareness of film pioneer Mary Pickford’s life, preserving her work, furthering her philanthropic legacy and honoring her creativity. Founded in 2003 by the Mary Pickford Foundation, MPI actively serves the community through our public research library as well as educational initiatives using film, video and digital media to empower students by helping them realize they have a voice that is worthy of being heard.
Our resources and services provide a bridge from early cinema to modern filmmaking for scholars, students, film buffs and the general public.
Our projects ignite an excitement for learning while building participants’ sense of accomplishment and self-esteem by utilizing teaching tools that are immediate, relevant and current. MPI's current educational outreach project is the Mobile Film Classroom.
