THE EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL OF CINEMA
The Ennesimo Academy stems from the idea that the seventh art, as well as being able to enchant and excite with its narrations, is among the most effective educational tools to engage the new generations: thanks to a language that students easily understand, cinema is useful to arouse passion in them and encourage them to tackle current and important issues. In this context, the Ennesimo Academy proposes the use of an essential didactic and educational communication tool. Not only visual art, but also a means to convey and consolidate learning through emotions. Thanks to theoretical courses and workshops on image education, Academy students learn to decode the audiovisuals to which we are all subjected on a daily basis, in order to be aware of their communicative intentions, express their own critical judgement and interact with each other consciously. The early project born in 2016 involving 8 classes in Fiorano Modenese has grown over the years. This was possible thanks to the support of local Institutions aware that cinema can also become a tool of inclusion, because it fosters dialogue regardless of the difficulties and any initial cultural and educational differences. Audiovisual education means supporting students to develop their own critical thinking about everyday life. The audiovisual today is, in fact, the tool par excellence for sharing, dialogue, emotion. The aim of the project is still, today as 8 years ago, to finally see image education integrated into traditional didactics, as a tool for guiding judgement on reality, but also as a source of discussion, debate, in-depth study: there is practically no subject that is not dealt with through a fiction or documentary film. Ennesimo Academy can run projects starting from specific needs, such as for the Work-Clip and Hey, Maranello courses that we have developed with the Municipality of Maranello, offering educational paths involving the entire educational curriculum, from kindergarten to university in a project proposal that does not end with the school bell ringing. One of the aims of the project is to take the learned skills out of the school walls. These paths include filming and editing workshops, the production of real short films and an entirely dedicated section within the Ennesimo Film Festival, where the Academy’s young students are the protagonists thanks to dedicated screenings, jury experiences, masterclasses and interactions with cinema and contemporary communication professionals. In this regard, the Ennesimo Academy focuses on cinema as a precious resource, not just the Ennesimo (lit. “usual”)!
