CINEVASIONI.edu

If people can’t go to the cinema, then the cinema goes to them!

“Cinevasioni.edu” is a local educational project developed in 2023 within the Cinema and Images for Schools Plan, promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIM) and the Ministry of Culture (MIC).

Cinema is used as therapy and as a tool for well-being and for normalising difficult life conditions. These are the main goals of “Cinevasioni.edu”, a project designed to bring film language and culture into complex contexts such as prisons and hospitals, as well as into schools, opening these spaces to film professionals, trainers, and researchers.

The project includes workshops, film programmes, masterclasses, and discussions with directors and authors. It takes place from February to May 2023 at the Odeon Cinema in Bologna, the Cinema Teatro Don Fiorentini in Imola, the screening room of the Dozza prison, and the Aula Magna of the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna.
