Welcome to this year’s BFI’s programme for Secondary Schools and colleges. Every year we welcome hundreds of schools and colleges, and thousands of students, to BFI Southbank to engage with, enjoy, and learn about film. This year we continue with our comprehensive programme for GCSE and A level Film and Media Studies, supporting specific topics on exam papers like the Music press, Tv Comedy, Tv Drama and Working Title Films. For Modern Foreign Language teachers we are running film focus study days for KS3, GCSE and A level, in French, Spanish and German, with a new entrant this year for Mandarin students, reflecting the growing popularity of the subject. In English, we are repeating our popular Of Mice and Men study day, and offering some new material for KS3. The BFI’s big campaigns in 2012 and 2013 are The genius of hitchcock, and gothic respectively, and we have events and study days to connect schools, colleges, and students with these elements of our core programme. We are delighted that the BFI National Library moved its Reading Room to the Southbank in June this year; there are now more reasons to bring students to our venue, with combined Library and Mediatheque visits available on Mondays for £10 per student. In addition to our paid programme for Secondary Schools, we have introduced a residency programme for very local schools. Teachers can negotiate with us to use our spaces for a fixed period – a day or two a week for half a term – in order to carry out a special topic or project that would benefit from a location on London’s South Bank. To find out more, email [email protected] And we plan to repeat our revamped conference for teachers, the BFI Media Conference, on 3rd, 4th, 5th July next year.

We hope to see you at some of our events sometime during the year!

Transylvania, Tombs and Twilight: an introduction to Gothic Horror for GCSE Film & Media StudiesIsolated castles, wild storms, creatures of the night – what’s not to like about this spectacular horror sub-genre? This interactive clip-based event looks at how generic conventions, narrative and representations are constructed through film language. While focusing on the monsters of classic Gothic literature such as Frankenstein and Dracula, we shall also consider audiences’ continuing fascination with vampires and how their representations reflect changing historical and cultural contexts. The event is suitable for

GCSE Media Studies, Film Studies, and Moving Image Arts, and for studying The Gothic and moving image for KS3 and KS4 English.

Studying the Superhero: a GCSE Film Study DayThe Superhero is the set genre for Paper 1 of the WJEC Film Studies specification changes from September 2011. This study day is designed to give students and teachers an introduction to the genre. The Superhero Movie has its origins in the comic book giving a rich heritage of characters and stories to draw from, but can mean it won’t be taken seriously. However, there is much to consider in the Superhero genre especially as it is very popular at this point in time. The day will give an overview of how the genre has developed over the last 30 years and provide interactive opportunities to consider generic

differences and similarities. There will be a full screening of a superhero movie, teacher’s notes and follow-up worksheets for the classroom.

It will also look

at the benefits and challenges created including the role of the ‘citizen journalist’. In the afternoon, there will be a screening and a Q&A with the filmmaker to ask about the impact of ‘We-Media’ on media institutions and wider society.

Of Mice and Men

Steinbeck on Screen: Of Mice and Men GCSE Study DayAimed at GCSE English Literature students studying all exam specifications, this clip-based study day will offer a detailed approach to considering how Steinbeck’s novel has been adapted for the cinema screen over time. Two versions of the film (the Milestone 1939 film with Lon Chaney and the Sinise 1992 film with John Malkovich) will be studied looking at film language, narrative structure, how time is represented plus characterization and casting. There will be an emphasis on comparing the structure of the written text with that of the film versions considering for example, why some scenes from the book do

not translate into the visual image and how this is accommodated in film. The morning session is interactive and in the afternoon there will be an introduced screening of Of Mice and Men (USA, 1939, Dir. Milestone, 106 mins).

German Film Approaches: a GCSE Study DayThis new event has been designed with the ‘Media’ aspect of all the German GCSE specifications in mind in order to assist students with their understanding of film and to aid their preparation for the written exam paper. The morning clip-based presentation will focus on suitable films that students may want to select as their chosen media, and film terminology will be explained and demonstrated through textual analysis to familiarise students with the language of film which they can use in their examination writing. There will be opportunities for group work and discussion to help develop ideas and approaches and suitable

film-related German vocabulary will be given. An afternoon screening of a film chosen by teachers will be shown with opportunities for discussion in German.

Jean de FloretteAu Revoir Les Enfants

Occupied France on Film: a Study Day for A Level French StudentsOver 250 films have been made with the German occupation of France during World War II as the focus or the backdrop. These are dramatic stories about an area of French life that is still not fully explored or accepted. Such films have exposed and, in some cases, covered up, issues of French character and national identity, and have helped to shape the contemporary map of post war, post-colonial French life. The morning clip-based session will explore films made in every decade since the war by celebrated directors such as Jean-Pierre Melville, Marcel Ophüls, Louis Malle, Claude Berri,

Ciné-minis © British Film Institute 2010

Ciné-minis continues the work of our highly praised “Shorts” teaching packs in providing a resource to support teaching and learning with short films – in this case not only literacy, but French. Over the years we have found that short films delight, inspire, and engage both children and their teachers in a unique way, and are manageable for classroom use. With new emphases on language teaching, we’re guessing that short French films will do for language learning what Story Shorts and Starting Stories did for literacy.

This pack consists of a DVD and a teaching guide. The DVD includes a carefully selected collection of 12 short French films, suitable for Key Stage 2 and 3 – or pupils between the ages of 7 and 14 outside England. These films are ideal for developing a range of French language skills such as speaking, listening, vocabulary, reading and writing, and extending children’s intercultural understanding. The films have been successfully used in school classrooms across France and tried and tested by French teachers in the UK.

The teaching guide has been developed by practising French teachers and includes a range of online resources to support classroom work with the films.
