Researching Film Education
International Seminar
London October 2014
Why are we here?To begin to shape a research agenda for Film Education in Europe:
•What do we need to know?•How can we find out, together?
•What’s the current landscape? What do we know already? What else should we be finding out?
•How do we situate film education in a) media education b) wider curriculum
settings c) wider non-formal settings?
NB, the EC definition of film literacy:
the level of understanding of a film, the ability to be conscious and curious in the choice of films; the competence to critically watch a film and to analyse its content, cinematography and technical aspects; and the ability to manipulate its language and technical resources in creative moving image production’
What are we going to do?
Hear perspectives from research already carried out, or just underway
Compare those perspectives with our own
Articulate the new questions we need to ask
When the outcome of an issue is unclear, or cannot be resolved, it is important to learn to love the question

And who are we?
