Who we are
Estucinema (Cinema for students) is a private enterprise serving schools since 1996. Over the years, our work has focused on two main activities:
- the organization of an annual film season in the province of Barcelona, aimed at different educational grades and subjects of the curriculum in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Education. Every year a series of films are selected according to both their cultural and recreational criteria (students should enjoy the film) and they are projected in cinemas in different cities around Barcelona. These film seasons try to exploit the attraction that the big screen offers as an educational tool. They also help include the language used in the films in the classroom activities.
- The performance of film forums at the school. It is an activity based on the projection, analysis and commentary of film excerpts to examine and reflect upon various subjects.
We must thank the educational community for the friendly reception that our proposal has always had, proof of which is the large number of students and teachers that usually attend our Cinema for students activities.
It is because of this rewarding experience that we have now taken a step further and opened www.estucinema.es. Our main aim is to offer an archive of films that can be used as a supplement of the educational currículum as well as giving you teaching materials for the classroom and for individual self study. This web page would also like to become a space for enhancing the use of films in the classroom and for the exchange of ideas.
