New Online Course

Master film studies as you learn how films create meaning
When you watch a film there are many elements working together to produce what you see and hear. The different elements, known as devices, have been carefully constructed so that your attention is drawn to certain things at certain times, forming the way in which a film communicates its story.

On this five-week course, you’ll unpack these elements to discover how they work, what they are called, and how they work together.

The Film Corner International online Conference

Between oct 22nd and november 5th, - Cineteca Milano Festival will host the final conference of the current edition of , the international project supported by the Creative Europe program, MI Social and MiBACT which runs since 2017 and involves institutions from 6 European countries and foresees the creation of an online interactive platform for film education.

The conference will take place online in English as a series of four focused seminars plus an italian day focused on institutional initiatives and national best practices showcasing.

From March 2020 until recently schools and cinemas across Europe have been closed. Teachers have had to find new ways of delivering all education, not simply film education. And now, with cinemas reopening, they will have to think of ways of bringing back audiences who for the past four/five months have been used to consuming films via streaming services.

Given that the world will not find its “new normal” shortly then key issues remain to be explored regarding film education – how it is delivered, how films can be legally accessed and also what a “new” film education pedagogy might look like. Is blended learning the answer? How can cinemas partake in this? What is on offer and what can be offered/developed? What might the future hold and what might European cooperation look like in 2021?

The many cultural, technological, social and educational aspects and implications connected to the experience of the pandemic offer the chance to start a common path of reflection, investigation and research in order to
imagine new ways to further develop and increase involvement in film education.
