Cinema for children, school film club, School and cinema - 2018.
55
At the end of the 1970s, in the face of commercial cinema’s shortcomings, the issue of children’s cinema is renewed and initiatives arise to give the young public access to quality films. The manifesto Pour un cinéma auquel les enfants ont droit (1976) defines its principles, organizes the programming and the distribution in youth and community centers and in primary schools. The authors describe how such a project was born and developed in Finistère in a pioneering way and with the support of local institutions. They show how the system set up at that time (projections during school time, in commercial movie theaters, etc.), breaks with the film-club model of the previous period, shakes up the habits of the National Education, invents a new concept of “educating cinema” and ensures the transition with systems that will then be generalized at all levels of the teaching institution with Les enfants de cinéma.
