As telas da escola

Abstract

In this presentation text from the homonym dossier which was produced by the International Research Network “Images, Geographies and Education”, we bring the multiple facets of the struggle for democratization of cinema, from access to films in circulation to access to cinematographic production, through studies and initiatives to intensify the presence of cinema in schools. The research that sustains the dossier articles was accomplished with more than two hundred geography professors from Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. It intended to question the answers given as well as suggesting it will be more powerful to create and misshape thoughts if it raises questions that help us formulate other new questions and problems for the educational contexts in which we operate - for the place where we live - and which could also be taken as questions for other contexts in which education establishes different relations with the cinema. The questionnaire has been attached to the text in which we argue about the fact that democratization would be in the possibility to the approach between cinema and education, could be carried out without a type of cinema being implemented, but instead, proposing and implementing experimentation processes with cinema, enabling each school to develop its own way of making cinema.
