ebook Different Approaches to Film Education Adrian Cieszkowski

Adrian Cieszkowski looks at his own Alma Mater from a comparative perspective, comparing two models of film education - Łódź and Lisbon. The author shows very precisely how different philosophical assumptions translate into specific organizational solutions. The school in Łódź is dominated by an individualistic model, focused on educating artists-authors, while in Lisbon the emphasis is on cooperation and craftsmanship. These differences are reflected in the entire structure of the studies - from the selection of subjects to the organization of shooting sets. The work shows how different education models prepare (or do not) for the realities of the labor market. The Lisbon model seems to better prepare people for work in the film industry by emphasizing cooperation and understanding the different roles within a film crew. The Łódź model, in turn, can better serve the education of outstanding creative individuals.
