10:00 – 11:30 Watch and Create – Workshop for Educators
Led by Agata Hofelmajer-Roś

A methodological workshop in film education based on practices from the French association “Le Cinéma, cent ans de jeunesse,” founded by Alain Bergala and Nathalie Bourgeois. This association runs an annual cycle of film sessions that combine theoretical and practical workshops for student groups. The sessions use film excerpts selected by Bergala and the group’s supervisor as the primary material. Each year, a new theme is chosen, but the guiding principle remains that these prepared “extracts” serve as the starting point for discussions on how the group will create their film.

Agata Hofelmajer-Roś is a Ph.D. candidate at the Doctoral School of the University of Silesia, researching film education practices in Poland and Europe.
