Are you curious about using film in education?
In this webinar, we will guide you through some core aspects of educational films. We will also showcase and discuss examples of effective and innovative educational films.
These are some of the questions we will explore:
How can film be best implemented in your educational programmes?
What value can film add to your teaching?
What qualities should you look for in an educational film?
How can you critically analyse educational films?
Structure of the Webinar
During this webinar, the speakers will share their experiences and expertise in using films in education.
The webinar will be structured into three parts. It will begin with film and video advisers Nathalie Blomstereng and Lars Baevre Rye-Holmboe from the Tromsø Educational Film Festival, at UiT, introducing “Why Educational Film Matter” through a presentation and short examples of educational films. They will also present their Educational Film Festival – TREFF.
Next, Prof. Susanne Unger from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München will discuss critical thinking around educational films, including decoding films, addressing misinformation, and sharing her personal experiences of teaching film production to students.
The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session, during which questions from the audience will be addressed.
These topics will be introduced during the webinar and further explored at a physical seminar in Tromsø. At the seminar, additional examples will be presented, and participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in creating videos in a professional film studio.
