Showing films and other audiovisual content in European schools : Obstacles and best practices : final report

How are films used in schools? How could films and other audio-visual content be more easily available for teaching purposes? These are the questions explored in this study, which has been carried out by a consortium lead by the Autonomous University of Barcelona for the European Commission. The study is divided into three chapters. The school chapter looks into how films are used and how film literacy fits into the school curricula. The industry chapter looks at how films are made available for schools by the industry. And finally the copyright chapter analyses the legal framework in Europe for showing films in schools. The study also includes policy recommendations for the Commission for promoting film literacy in European schools
