International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography PLUS CAMERIMAGE<\/b> and Northern Film School<\/b> at Leeds Metropolitan University<\/b> cordially invite to the special Forum dedicated to the work of teachers of cinematography, which will take place during the festival. <\/p>\n
The Forum’s aim is to discuss cinematography education and the means that are used for that purpose. Teachers from around the world will be there. Whether you teach full-time, or in masterclass sessions, or as a guest lecturer who visits schools to share the professional and artistic knowledge, please come and join in with your opinions on the teaching of cinematography. <\/p>\n
Education is of the utmost importance;

Plus Camerimage <\/b>offers a unique opportunity to come together as cinematographers and teachers of this art. The participants will have a chance to discuss the creation of international network and meet to exchange knowledge, share best practices and create support in bringing the newest cinematographers into the profession through higher education. Thus all the participants would be able to offer not only a mutual sharing of knowledge, but also the examination and support amongst the cinematography teaching community. <\/p>\n
This is not meant to be a panel discussion, but rather a meeting and conversation amongst colleagues discussing everything that bothers them. However, Larra Anderson<\/b> from Leeds Metropolitan University<\/b>, the person behind the idea of the Forum, proposes to start the discussion by considering the changes in teaching emerging as a result of the digital wave currently sweeping with such force across the industry and the schools. Nonetheless, all topics are welcome and the Forum will be open to discussion of any issue relevant to the practice of teaching of cinematography. <\/p>\n
The project is supported by the National Association of Higher Education in the Film and Moving Image. <\/p>\n
