Abstract

This chapter explores the extent to which an international film education program, le Cinema cent ans de jeunesse, might support its participants’ developing cognitive skills. It uses the work of Elliott Eisner, in his book Arts and the Creation of Mind, to speculate on the kinds of thinking that filmmaking, watching, and discussion stimulate in the program. It concludes that the program provides the grounds for explicit and conceptually-based, meta-cognitive strategies, while also sharing significant affinities with the approaches of both Eisner and French film educator Alain Bergala in their conceptions of art education.
