OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY Research carried out by a Consortium composed by the UAB, the European Think Tank on Film Policy, CUMEDIAE, and AEDE. To provide reliable data and analyses on the educational use of audiovisual content in schools. To specify obstacles and good practices considering three perspectives: Schools Film industry Copyright legal framework

METHODOLOGY 28 Member States of the EU. Questionnaires sent to Primary and secondary schools across Europe (6,701) In-depth consultation with Experts in film literacy European film industry organisations Producers, distributors, sales agents National film agencies Film heritage institutions Interviews with selected key actors

SCHOOLS DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE 4

SCHOOLS LIMITED USE OF FILMS AND OTHER AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT 5

SCHOOLS TEACHING OF FILM LITERACY IS NOT A GENERAL PRACTICE 6

SCHOOLS USE OF FILMS OFTEN INCLUDED IN TEACHING OF OTHER SUBJECTS

SCHOOLS DIVERSE ORIGIN FOR AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT WITH STRONG ROLE FOR PRIVATE MATERIAL 8

SCHOOLS TEACHERS…. Poor training opportunities for teachers. Limited qualifications among teachers in film literacy. But… TEACHERS SUPPORT FILM LITERACY (60% would recommend film education as a subject to be made obligatory in order to teach film literacy) 9

FILM INDUSTRY COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN COMMERCIAL COMPANIES AND SCHOOLS 10

FILM INDUSTRY VERY LIMITED LICENSING OF FILMS TO SCHOOLS 11

FILM INDUSTRY ESSENTIAL ROLE OF INSTITUTIONS 12

THE COPYRIGHT LEGAL FRAMEWORK Main Text: Directive on Certain Aspects of Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society (2001/29/EC) Harmonization of three different rights: Reproduction Making available to the public Communication to the public 13

THE COPYRIGHT LEGAL FRAMEWORK The non-compulsory application of the copyright exception for teaching use in the Directive has resulted in a divergent application. Film use in education is conceived as “illustration”: does not include full films? The screening of full movies at schools is a matter of diverse national interpretation. National legislations differ too much about the uses allowed under the teaching exception. 14

THE COPYRIGHT LEGAL FRAMEWORK Differences between Member States on screening of films in schools: Free screening of films in a classroom Statutory licensing requiring payment of compensation or remuneration Framework agreements based on voluntary collective licenses and managed by collecting societies.
