About Screening Shorts

Screen education involves watching, discussing, and analyzing screen texts, creating written work and scripts, making films from found material or new footage, exploring diverse genres, and re-evaluating familiar texts. The focus is on developing knowledge of film language and enhancing both critical analysis and creative expression skills.

Screen education, also known as film or moving image education, is centered on developing literacy skills using screen texts. It encompasses reading, analyzing, creating, and appreciating screen content as a catalyst for imaginative creativity. Beyond traditional literacy, it provides a rich learning context for interdisciplinary development across the Curriculum for Excellence, seamlessly integrating into various subjects.
