MASTERCLASS: METHODOLOGY

MASTERCLASS: METHODOLOGY Online masterclass discusses the methodology for teaching young people through media

What is a film? What does the term “film education” mean and why does it matter? 

As dealing with moving images is first and foremost experienced and learned in the family, it is important to get parents involved. How can this succeed?

After a brief clarification of these basic questions, Sabine Genz of the VISION KINO looks at different methods of film education. There are many ways to make sense of a film: critical ways like film analysis, creative ways from small practical tasks to shooting your own film and ways that promote a broader cultural understanding. 

VISION KINO is a non-profit organisation promoting the need to teach film and media skills to children and young people. The goal of the organisation is to strengthen the media competence of the youth and sensitize them to an original cultural place of film reception, the cinema.
