How can cultural and educational institutions help bring film and audiovisual education into schools? This discussion will present European models of support – from regional film hubs and national initiatives to long-term programmes connecting schools with filmmakers.
Merel Gilsing from Filmhub Midden will introduce the Dutch regional hub model, Elisa Giovannelli from Cineteca Bologna will share the Italian experience of coordinating film education across several regions, Núria Aidelman from A Bao A Qu will present Cinema en curs, and Michael Jahn from Vision Kino will offer insights from Germany’s national initiative for film education and school screenings. Together, we will explore how to identify what schools really need and how institutions can support them through teaching materials, screenings, teacher training, collaboration with filmmakers and links to future educators.
