Each cycle will take place once a month from October through April. Two open film reviews are planned for May and June. For project participants, this will provide an opportunity to continue the project, as in previous years. Teachers who cannot take their students to the cinema regularly will be able to bring them to interesting films and meetings held as part of these reviews.
In October, a meeting about the history of cinema for students in grades 1–3 was led by Wrocław resident Sabin Kluszczyński, who has an excellent rapport with young audiences. In addition to his formal fields of study—directing and editing—he works as a camera operator, photographer, production manager and executive producer. He has worked in Ukraine, Germany and Saudi Arabia. He has created numerous short films and is a co-founder of the Heavy Visions Film Group, which received a Yach award for the best music video for children, was nominated for a Fryderyk for music video of the year, and was nominated at the Yach Film Festival in the Grand Prix and Best Acting Performance categories.
New Horizons of Film Education is a project with a long-standing tradition, created with young viewers’ film education in mind. Ambitious, non-commercial cinema, multimedia presentations, discussions and workshops, and interdisciplinary teaching materials—all of this awaits students and teachers from Bolesławiec schools at Forum cinema. New Horizons of Film Education enables the implementation of various elements of the core curriculum. The project has received the patronage of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage and the Ombudsman for Children. It is also supported by renowned directors and actors: Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Zanussi and Jerzy Stuhr. In 2012, the project received the Polish Film Institute Award in the “Education of Young Viewers” category.
