Lumiere minutes - Pedagogy of cinema

Cinema In Course (Cinema en curs) is defined as a pedagogic program that is both of and with film because it pursues a pressing double objective: to draw young people to cinema as a form of art, creation and culture, and to explore the pedagogic potential of cinema creation.
It began in Catalonia (northeast of Spain) in 2005 and is being implemented in primary and secondary schools with pupils between 3 and 18 years old. One of the main backbones is the joint and continued work between teachers, professors and film professionals (directors, scriptwriters, cinematographers, editors…).
Lumiere Minutes (Minuts Lumiere) is one of the several projects developed within the framework of Cinema en curs. In this project students were experimenting with documentary film, playing with single and still shots, like the first Lumiere films. For that purpose they had to thoughtfully choose a situation and how to capture it. In the link I´m attaching you can find information about the lesson plans, experiences, etc. However, unlike the Cinema In course web, this is not yet translated to English.
