This article explores the development of the Our Cinema project in Scotland: a revolving
annual curriculum of film education for upper primary and lower secondary age children
in state schools that, at the time of writing, is approaching a pilot phase. Discussion
explores the project’s origins in France’s Cinéma Cent Ans de Jeunesse, and its relationship
with the Catalan film education project Cinema en curs, before focusing in particular
upon how a school-based programme of film education might seek to explore vernacular
conceptions of cinema, through a focus on dialect, place and the lived experiences
of participants. The article concludes by offering a detailed, concrete proposal of
a film education curriculum, comprising two years (each broken up into 32 weeks) of
creative learning activities.
