The relationship between film and education is fruitful and bidirectional. Films have offered numerous portrayals of schools, which in turn have frequently employed audiovisual media as a pedagogical tool. Watching films is a fairly common activity in schools. However, approaching this art form from a critical, artistic, ethical, and creative perspective is less so. Through lectures, screenings, debates, and project presentations, this conference will explore the new challenges that this thriving connection presents.
