The influence film and video have on today’s youth has raised concerns about the kind of attitudes this can instil. Challenging these concerns, Sydney Film School has invited an experienced education and creative arts panel who will argue that the problem is not so much with the quantity of films and videos that young people watch but with the passive, indiscriminating nature of so much of their viewing and with the quality of the films they choose to watch.
Coinciding with discussion around a new National Cultural Policy in Australia this Panel Discussion will discuss the social, artistic and personal value of teaching film to high school students and the various teaching methodologies used to both analyse and create films.
Presented with ABC Big Ideas the panel discussion will be pre-recorded and broadcast on ABC Radio National through the Big Ideas programme.
Panelists include: Waverley College Visual Arts teacher Tanya Schneider; University of Sydney senior lecturer Visual Art & Design Education Dr Marianne Hulsbosch; Filmmaker Benjamin Gilmour, director of the film Son of a Lion; Sydney Film School Director Ben Ferris and young filmmaker Epiphany Morgan. Journalist Lynden Barber will moderate the discussion.
