film and education

On Friday April 29th from 9 to 11 am in the Small Auditorium in the Minor Theatre there will take place a debate on the theme Film and Education. For several years the project One World in Schools has been carried out whose goal is to use the considerable potential of documentary film and promote its use in education. We would like to familiarize the participants of the debate with the experiences that we have gained up to now. The debate should primarily be an opportunity to discuss the general questions relating to the reflection of modern Czech history in documentary films and its use in education.

Other directors and teachers are also invited. A part of the program will include the projection of film trailers and previews.
