Educational path
The educational path
A new and engaging educational journey that encourages students to take on the role of change-makers. Split into three sections, it starts with showing movies in the catalog in classrooms, along with thematic materials for deep analysis. Then, there are interactive tasks like three role-plays engaging students, helping them become conscious consumers and enhance their consumption behaviors, as well as practical video tutorials on film making.
Food on Film catalogue
Food on Film catalogue
The goal of the catalogue is to bring attention to environmental and food challenges. It provides a carefully selected range of top-notch movies, such as 20 documentaries and 15 short films in Italian, English, French, German, and Montenegrin.
Storytelling section
The creative section of film production
The educational journey involves a hands-on section where students are taught to address societal issues and produce their own short films, using dedicated video tutorials. A global screenwriting contest is providing schools the chance to win a film production workshop alongside the Mobile Film Festival. This workshop will allow students to create their own one-minute short films about food challenges, with guidance from industry experts.
