Conference

Film education. Rethink the future

The Film Corner International Conference, an online event promoted by Fondazione Cineteca Italiana to trace a common path of reflection around film education across Europe

Between october 22nd and November 5th, 2020, Piccolo Grande Cinema-Cineteca Milano Festival will host the final conference of the current edition of The Film Corner, the european project that aims to design, release and test an online ineractive platform for film education. The project involves 7 European institutions in 6 EU countries and is co-financed by the European Commission in the frame of the Creative Europe Programme. The conference will take place online in English as a series of four focused seminars plus an italian day focused on institutional initiatives and national best practices showcasing.

From March 2020 until recently schools and cinemas across Europe have been closed. Teachers have had to find new ways of delivering all education, not simply film education. And now, with cinemas reopening, they will have to think of ways of bringing back audiences who for the past four/five months have been used to consuming films via streaming services.
Given that the world will not find its “new normal” shortly then key issues remain to be explored regarding film education – how it is delivered, how films can be legally accessed and also what a “new” film education pedagogy might look like. Is blended learning the answer? How can cinemas partake in this? What is on offer and what can be offered/developed? What might the future hold and what might European cooperation look like in 2021?

The conference will take place online on the Discord platform in English and in multiple panels and will host more than 20 speakers from 15 countries, representants of transnational bodies such as EFADs-European Film Agencies Directors and some of the most relevant international organizations in the field of film education including Danish Film Institute (Denmark), Vision Kino (Germany), British Film Institute (UK), Institut Français (France).

It begins on October 22nd at 5.30 pm with a panel dedicated to the use of online educational resources for film education during which a preview of the new version of The Film Corner platform will be offered, on October 28th at 5.30 pm production of audiovisuals in education and schools will be discussed, on October 29 at 1730 we will discuss how festivals and reviews take up the challenge of social distancing and it will close on 5 November with an international panel that includes the intervention of Maria Silvia Gatta, representative of the European Commission – DG Connect.
