Program "Film education"
About the project
Films from the collection of the Film Festival "Zero Plus" comprise methodological basis for developing film education. Film education is an up-to-date strand in modern education, especially in media education, which is connected with patterns, forms and methods for upbringing a person using screen art. Conceptual foundation of film education considers cinema as an instrument for upbringing and education, teaching material for implementing educational activities, universally applicable way of understanding social, cultural and scientific events by children and youth. Film education is a specific technology to transfer values of kindness, love and friendship through comprehension. Film education is a cross-disciplinary subject that employs digital products (films) which can be easily integrated in the ecosystem of digital education.
Film education program includes the following events:
  • film lessons for school students of all ages aimed at the meaningful watching of films and further discussion,
  • seminars and workshops for parents which explain how to use film materials at home,
  • seminars, webinars and workshops for educators, culture and youth policy professionals on how to use films in educational and awareness-raising activities,
In cooperation with the Department of Education and Science of the Tyumen region we are organizing a regional competition "The best film lesson" in order to assemble a society of film educators. The goal of the competition is to identify the best practices and methods in the area of film education; and encourage prominents educators and culture professionals. The core idea of the competition implies that educators shoot lessons where they watch films with their students and discuss them while applying their own methods and algorithms. Around 1000 educators from villages and towns of the Tyumen region took part in this competition during its 2 years of operation. New nominations for parents and youngsters are going to be introduced in 2019.
