Curriculum and Curation: film programs as a methodological research procedure between cinema and education

Abstract

In this text, we bring together the notions of cinema, education, and formation (Bildung) to discuss pathways and methodological procedures in educational research with films. By exploring conceptual connections between the curriculum, as conceived and practiced in education, and curation, as developed in the artistic and cinematographic realms, we retrace the journey of a doctoral research experience. Ultimately, we propose the establishment of film programs as a methodological gesture capable of inspiring alternative ways of researching between cinema and education.
