As part of the annual conference of the Society for Media Studies 2025 (GfM), a curated programme from the 16mm educational film collection of Paderborn University will be shown in analogue projection on Wednesday, 17 September from 7 to 8.30 pm under the title "FILM*MACHT*BILDUNG". This programme examines how constellations of power and the specific power of audiovisual educational media are negotiated in films. The event will take place in room E2.122.
The Institute for Media Studies at Paderborn University has a collection of more than 1000 copies of educational films produced by the Institute for Film and Image in Science and Education (FWU) for use in teaching at schools and educational institutions. The main medium in the FWU's catalogue was educational films, which were made available on 16mm prints via a nationwide network of film centres. Film curator Tobias Hering has put together a selection for the event. The presentation will be followed by a discussion moderated by Junior Professor Dr Julia Eckel and Dr Stephan Arens.
More information on the event can be found in the programme of the GfM annual conference.
