"La scuola e la magia del cinema" - ( "School and the magic of
the cinema") Second edition - an initiative that aims to bring together
the world of school and the world of the cinema, emphasising the importance
of audiovisual language. The objective is to provide tools for the understanding
and use of this language, through workshops and meetings. Screenings
are held in cinemas in the town, whilst workshops are held directly
in the schools.
Going to the cinema and making films: understanding films from this
dual point of view: watching and creating.
After seeing the film at the cinema, in the classroom the children are
asked to recreate the set. This gives them the opportunity to develop
a different awareness of themselves in relation to their classmates.
Another important aim is to promote and improve communication in the
classes. A valid method for all age ranges.
