The power of film to capture imagination and communicate with people is 
like no other. In an era of fake news, misinformation and emphasis on 
how we access and interpret media information, this two day symposium 
will highlight methods from across the world to empower and inspire 
learning via the moving image.

Bradford UNESCO City of Film has a reputation as a world leader in film 
education and delivers its own film literacy programme in partnership 
with the British Film Institute (BFI).

Join keynote speaker, the BFI’s Head of Education, Mark Reid, Yongsun 
Lee - Korean Film Council (KOFIC), guests from across the UNESCO 
Creative Cities Network and the UK to learn more about the power of film 
in education. Sessions include interactive workshops, panel discussions, 
and a host of opportunities to discover more about Bradford’s Film 
Literacy programme, Film Education in a Community setting and Media 
Information Literacy.
