Based on a belief that greater understanding of film can create a deeper engagement with arts and the world, and using a slate of celebrated films from Europe, Cine-versity created a course of “viewing and doing” which exposed new audiences to classic European cinema. The program involves audiences dynamically in learning about the practice and processes that lie at the heart of filmmaking and hopes to make life-long enthusiasts of and ambassadors for European film out of engaged and activated audiences of young people. Cine-versity explores issues of design, composition, story models, color scheme, music and choreography, as well as post production processes in order to help participants experience, learn about, and appreciate film as an art form with its own history, language, and understandings.
