Perspectives on the Future of Film Education in Europe

Manuel José Damásio, FilmEU coordinator, has published the article Perspectives on the Future of Film Education in Europe, focusing on the Samsara pedagogical framework implemented within the FilmEU European University.

The article discusses how technological, social, and institutional changes, such as virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and shifting audience behaviours, are transforming both the film medium and the methods used in film education.

It highlights the need to move from teaching about film to educating through film, presenting FilmEU as a trans-European and interdisciplinary model for creative arts education. The Samsara framework is introduced as a project-driven approach that combines technical training with media literacy and critical thinking.

The paper explores how initiatives like FilmEU can help film schools adapt to ongoing transformations in the cultural and creative industries.
