BaTEG Summer School 2024
BaTEG International Film Festival:
Schools in Films and Films in Schools
Sept 15th to 22nd
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Summer School, scheduled from September 15th to 22nd. This year's theme, "International BaTEG Film Festival – Schools in films and films in schools," promises an engaging exploration into the multifaceted relationship between cinema and education.
Our journey will delve into the portrayal of schools in various films and series, offering a critical examination of themes such as the depiction and role of educators, the comparative analysis of school life across different cultures, teaching styles, pedagogy, and more. Moreover, we will delve into the pedagogical potential of utilizing film materials in educational settings, discussing innovative approaches and best practices.
Join us for a stimulating week of scholarly discourse, cinematic exploration, and collaborative learning. We look forward to welcoming you to an intellectually enriching experience at our Film Festival.
