Film + School programme reopens today

Programmes

Film is a powerful educational tool and the programming of the series has been designed to be as broad as possible to allow children an opportunity to engage in wide range of filmic genres and structures including fiction, documentaries and short and animated films. Through this programming strategy, learners will become familiar with the different modes of storytelling of the medium.

The first part of programme will be a special focus on migration, exploring the world of migration through a selection of entertaining and educational films including features, shorts, animated and documentary films as well as practical workshops. Whilst South Africa and Africa will be a central focus of the selection, the programme will have films from various parts of the world giving the series a broader international scope.
