Best Arts Educator

You might know Allison Inman as the chipper Belcourt staffer who often introduces guest speakers before and after screenings. She works behind the scenes to connect viewers with scholars, filmmakers, activists, poets, nonprofit leaders and more. Inman is also the big brain behind the theater’s High School Film Club and the groundbreaking Strong Leads: A Film Seminar for High School Girls. She brings other people to the table in order to serve everyone in our community, like when she worked with poet and social worker Melissa Gordon to create Words Caught in My Throat: A Film Seminar for Black Middle School Girls. Inman understands that if stripped of its pretensions, film can be a vehicle for empowerment and community. She’s one reason the Belcourt is such a special place. ERICA CICCARONE
