24.10.2017 | School Cinema Weeks 2017
More than "just" a visit to the cinema: the SchulKinoWochen (School Cinema Weeks) start again in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein at the end of November. Around 100 films will be shown in over 50 cinemas from 20 to 24 November (Hamburg) and 27 November to 1 December (Schleswig-Holstein). The screenings are specially designed for school classes and are intended to introduce children and young people to film education.
The range of films is enormous again this year: the Hamburg School Cinema Week is showing classics such asThe Sams also current productions such asAmelie runs or the opening filmSimple with Frederick Lau and David Kross. Schleswig-Holstein can also look forward to a varied mix of old and new independent films and cinema highlights.Slumdog Millionaire andPretty best friends next toA bag full of marbles and the opening filmOnce upon a time there was Indian country by Hamburg Media School graduate İlker Çatak. The programme is aimed at a wide age range - from pre-school to adult education, there is something for everyone. Most of the films are shown several times so that as many classes as possible have the opportunity to watch the very popular titles.

There is accompanying material for almost every cinema film for preparation and follow-up work in class. The workbooks include historical background information, interviews with actors and the film team, analysis tasks and examples for group work." Many films are also supplemented by so-called cinema seminars, in which actors, directors, presenters or cultural educators talk to teachers and pupils about the film, says Lili Hartwig. "This turns the cinema auditorium into a classroom and the cinema experience into an interactive teaching unit."
VISION KINO from Berlin is responsible for compiling the film catalogue (from which each SchulKinoWoche compiles its programme) and is also the initiator of the SchulKinoWoche throughout Germany. The initiative for the Fundings of film and media competence of children and young people is supported by the Federal Government for Culture and Media, the German Federal Film Board, the German Cinematheque Foundation and the "Kino macht Schule" GbR. In addition, there is a network of partners and other supporters in the respective federal states. In Hamburg, these include the Ministry of Schools and Vocational Training and the KurzFilmAgentur Hamburg, while in Schleswig-Holstein they include the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture. Nationwide support is provided by the Federal Agency for Civic Education
In the digital age, it is not only pupils who should take a critical approach to cinema, film and internet productions; as educators, teachers are of course particularly in demand when it comes to media skills. This is where SchulKinoWoche can help with a wide range of workshops and seminars that are precisely tailored to the needs of the classroom. For example, the question of how a visit to the cinema can be prepared and followed up using various methods and techniques, the effects of sound in a film or how films can be made with simple means. The events are led by experienced media educators, film and cultural scientists, usually last between 2 and 4 hours and take place (or have already taken place in some cases) in Hamburg and Kiel.
What age group are the SchulKinoWochen intended for?
There are suitable films from pre-school age to adult education
Are the screenings only for school classes?
Yes, at least the screenings that are shown in the mornings. If there is a justified interest from "external parties", special arrangements are possible
Do you have to register for the cinema screenings in advance?
Yes, you can register here:
- For Hamburg
- For Schleswig-Holstein
How much do the cinema screenings, cinema seminars and teacher training courses cost?
Admission to cinema screenings/seminars costs 3.50 euros per pupil, accompanying persons pay nothing. The training courses for teachers are free of charge.
Training courses, cinema seminars and more than 100 films in the programme - to put it briefly: the SchulKinoWoche offers a packed programme with something for everyone. And the trend of recent years shows that the organisers have hit the mark with their programme. "At the first SchulKinoWoche Hamburg in 2008, we had 6,600 visitors and 14 participating cinemas. This year, there are already 22,700 registrations and 19 cinemas taking part," says Lili Hartwig. After the start of the registration phase in 2017, more than 300 teachers had already registered with the Short Film Agency Hamburg within the first three days to register for an event. The trend is similar in Schleswig-Holstein. At the start in 2002, there were around 11,000 registrations; now there are over 60,000 registrations per year in the northernmost federal state. "Even children who don't normally go to the cinema have the opportunity to watch a film on the big screen," says cultural and media scientist Hartwig. So whether as a reward for the class or because it fits in well with the curriculum - we can only warmly recommend the SchulKinoWoche to all teachers in Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and the rest of the country.
