FROM 5 TO 7

There are some images that rather than appearing fully formed on the celluloid acquire their shape more slowly, little by little. That’s precisely what has happened with the silhouette of a community that has yet to acquire a name: it’s emerged gradually out of workshops, conversations and shared gestures, as a group open to anyone who is curious about films and education, and wants to discover them by watching, listening and imagining. 

This group, which is still in the making, aims to become a space for meeting and working together. A place for sharing experiences, watching films, making films, and thinking about the classroom and what fall outside its remit. We’re interested in sound, image, movement, and all their possible extensions.  

The meetings will take place during the school year between 5 and 7 pm, like the two hours in real time in which Cleo from 5 to 7 takes place, and which we want to turn into meaningful hours: a parenthesis for listening, creating and shared thinking. 

We’ll continue to shape this image as the year progresses. We don’t yet know its definitive form because we want everyone who takes part in the activity to help build it. We’ll set the dates at each meeting as we go along. In any case, it will be a space to test out ideas, to share imaginaries, to make proposals as they occur to us and to engage fully in whatever emerges.

As the first gesture, the first still image, we’ll get together this autumn for a screening of audiovisuals made by teachers, organised by the local art teachers’ association. This will be our launch pad for starting to watch and listen as a group headed to the same place. 

Aimed at educators, teachers and anyone interested in audiovisuals and education. If you want to join us, fill in the form and we’ll let you know about the meetings and activities.
