A number of 150 leaflets will be distributed free of charge to the audience, the material being to be made available also electronically on LiterNet site.
Éducation à l’image este is a programme designed for high schoolers, with a view to make them familiar with author films and art cinema, with viewing films in theatre houses, and to offer them
the basic tools for the interpretation of the specific language (both artistically and technically), thus transforming them from passive consumers into active viewers.
“If cinema education is properly made, it can open doors towards self-awareness and to a certain degree of knowledge of the world (at least in relation to certain aspects and from certain angles). (…) In this day and age, considering the number of interpellations coming from mass-media, the amount of entertainment being consumed, the quantity of multimedia text being produced and the weight of image and sound in the above, the need for reflection, for critical tools, for cinematic and audio-visual-media education should be obvious,” Andrei Gorzo stated.
