Very best wishes, Jamie Scottish International Film Education Conference 2019 FRIDAY 14 JUNE 2019 Cinema, Gilmorehill Centre, University of Glasgow, 9 University Avenue, Glasgow, G12 8QQ 09:30 - 17:30 FREE Film is a distinct medium with a distinct history and, as such, requires a distinct pedagogy. The Scottish International Film Education Conference is one of two UK-based initiatives exploring how teachers and other educators work with film in diverse contexts around the world, and committed to involving other participants – policy-makers, academics, researchers, cultural agencies and film-makers – in that conversation. Our 2019 edition will explore diverse perspectives on film education from Glasgow, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Sweden, Germany and beyond; and from different perspectives within the film education process - from class-room teachers, filmmakers, policy-makers and academics. The conference is organised in partnership with the Film Education Journal, the world’s only publication dedicated to film pedagogy – and enjoys the support of Screen Scotland, British Film Institute, Edinburgh College of Art, and Africa in Motion Film Festival. The event is free to attend.
