With a rich program, the educational activities of Cine Graphs, which are an educational program of the Chania Film Festival, continued on Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17, 2019.
On Saturday afternoon, at the 10th Primary School of Chania, an experiential action was organized – a proposal of the Festival, the operation of a Film Club, with the participation of the entire educational community (students, teachers, parents). About forty people enjoyed the film: Sing/Sing/Mindenki by Kristof Deak. Then, at the urging of the animators, they developed a personal relationship with the film and its creator, discussed the feelings that were born with the look of the film, remembered and described similar experiences, discovered the expressive means and techniques used by the director. Then they played, parents and children together, cinematic games with stimuli from scenes of the film. In this way, they linked the viewing of an audiovisual product with the enjoyment of the game.
On Sunday morning, the 4th monthly meeting was held at the Training Workshop for teachers: How do we make documentaries with children? The documentary Kayayo/The Pack animals by Mari Bakke Riise was screened and discussed. On the occasion of the film, activities for elementary and high school children were designed by the teachers themselves. Then, in a laboratory way, the questions were answered: How do we choose the topic, how do we research and collect material together with the children before we start making a documentary?
The two films used the workshops were donated by the YOUTH PLAN AND the Olympia Festival for Children and Young People.
The cinegraphs are one of the educational programs of the Chania Film Festival and were designed to cover an integrated approach to audiovisual and cinematic literacy. They are addressed to primary and secondary education teachers of the P.E. of Chania, with the following objectives:
