*Papers from the Film Education Journal*

*
*

Past and prospective authors published in the Film Education Journal present short papers on film education. This year the panel will particularly focus on questions about how film education might best cater to young people in the United Kingdom.


- *Dr Christopher Nunn *(University of Greenwich) - ‘Film(making) education for all? British cultural policy and film education’

- *Rebecca McSheaffrey *(Glasgow Film) - ‘Exploring the aspirations of young people to work in the British film industry through comparative focus groups in London secondary schools’

- *Dr Ryan Shand* (Ravensbourne University London) - 'Excitement lies elsewhere: teenage moviemakers and popular culture'


This panel will be hosted by *Mark Reid *(British Film Institute) and introduced with a short welcome by editor of the Film Education Journal, *Dr Jamie Chambers* (Edinburgh College of Art).

*Keynote: 27 Years Young: Exploring the Past, Present and Future of * /*Cinéma, cent ans de jeunnesse*/

*Nathalie Bourgeois (Cinéma Cent Ans De Jeunnesse, Head of Programme )*

*
*

Since its inception in 1995, Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse, has steadily grown to become one of the largest and most influential film education initiatives in the world today. Groups of young people across the world between the ages of 6 and 18 take part in annual programmes of film education focused around a different topic chosen every year, in which the parallel activities of watching and making films are not only interlinked, but inseparable. With the recent announcement that the project will no longer be continuing in its current form at La Cinémathèque Française, we are delighted to welcome programme founder Nathalie Bourgeois to share her reflections on the project's successes, challenges, and future prospects.


This keynote event is hosted by *Dr Bettina Henzler* (University of Bremen)



16.00-17.30

*How do we assess learning in film education? *

*
*

The question of how to assess students’ work relating to film education frequently poses challenges to educators working in secondary school contexts where film is not always considered a key part in the curriculum. In this panel we welcome practitioners from Northern Ireland, Scotland, Hungary and Spain who are currently leading and developing innovative assessment frameworks in film education. Speakers will include *David Bradley* (Dalriada School in County Antrim, N. Ireland), *Dr Laura Findlay* (Screen Education Edinburgh, Scotland), *Anette Hilbert* *(*Hungary) and *Nuria Aidelman and Laia Collel* from A Bao a Qu in Spain.


This event is hosted by *Dr Michelle Canon* (UCL, Institute of Education)

Over the last few decades, a number of exciting film education initiatives have been developed in East Asia, complementing the region’s rich film history. This panel presents an overview of several film education projects taking place in China, Korea and Japan and explores how film is used in different ways to enhance young people’s learning and development. Featuring contributions from *Dr Hang Xu *(Beijing Film School) in China, *Dr Aramchan Lee* (Mokwon University) & *Hyunwoo Park *(Seoul Broadcasting High School) in Korea and *Etsuko Dohi*, founder of the Children Meet Cinema programme in Japan.


This panel will be hosted by *Professor Andrew Burn *(UCL Institute of Education)


16.00 - 17.30

*Screen Scotland presents: perspectives from Scottish teachers working with film in primary schools*


Teachers in Scotland have been using film education in schools for many years. There are many opportunities to develop it strategically, in relation to literacy and other curriculum and school priorities, especially in primary schools; these opportunities continue to expand as the increasing take-up of mobile devices in schools expands their creative capabilities. In this panel discussion we hear from teachers with long experience of film education, including *Greg Dimeck* (Headteacher, Gracemount Primary, Edinburgh), *Melanie Keles* (Depute Headteacher, Muirfield Primary, Arbroath) and *Hannah Watt* (Teacher, Broomhouse Primary, previously Film Education Officer, Screen Scotland). The panellists will share their work and reflect upon what they have learned about the particular contributions film education can make to children’s learning and to the life of the school.


This event is hosted by *Scott Donaldson* (Screen Scotland)
