The EC funded research report Screening Literacy (2012) found a wide range of approaches, projects, and priorities for film education, across 32 European countries, but with little coherence or commonality of approach. The Report made the Recommendation to 'draft a model of film education for Europe, including appreciation of film as an art form, critical understanding, access to national heritage, world cinema and popular film, and creative film-making skills'. This bid is to create a Film Education Framework for Europe, to establish a common set of approaches and understandings for partners to share and aspire to. It will be particularly useful for countries where film education is currently underdeveloped, giving those countries and relevant organisations not only guidance but also an opportunity to link with other countries and projects. We will build the Framework out of the excellent work that is happening across Europe, with the aim of ultimately benefitting young audiences and the wider European film industry.The bid provides for 18 pan-European partners to devise a common Framework, across three meetings between September 2014 and June 2015. Three Working Groups will focus on the Creative, Critical, and Cultural dimensions of film education, considering these dimensions in relation to different audience sectors: families and pre-school; school students; teachers; young people outside school; HE and industry.The partners are drawn from major Film Institutes and Cinematheques (in UK, Fr, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Austria, and Ireland); universities with a research record in film education (Port. and Italy); lead NGOs in media and film education (Hungary, Lith, Spain, Romania, Gr, Cyprus); film industry agencies with an interest in education (Germany, Slovenia). The bid is structured so that Major Partners are making a financial contribution to the project, but smaller NGOs from less developed nations are financially supported to take part.
