The Olympia International Film Festival, during its first edition in 1997, approached the issue of cinema in education and film education, by organizing an international conference in Ancient Olympia. Today, twenty years later, we are, once more, seeking the sign, by detecting the practices and concerns that have been developed over the past twenty years, and the achieved progress; the changes that were brought about by the enormous technological developments.<\/p>\n
Cinema is Reason. It is Language and Art. It is the main laboratory for research and innovation in the audiovisual field. Without cinema, audiovisual education does not exist.<\/p>\n
Through the suggestions of the conference, a wide range of audiovisual education issues is covered; theoretical and methodological approaches; reports on achievements and difficulties of tested applications; applications of small and larger structures, in small and larger scales, in formal and non-formal teaching methods. Arguments and counter-arguments will be developed about including audiovisual education in the curriculum as a compulsory lesson or as a lesson of choice. There will be references to the importance of joint actions at Pan-European and international level, and to ways of exchanging educational material and developing alternative networks.<\/p>\n
