Interview with author Terry Bolas about his new book Screen education: from film appreciation to media studies

How did you come to write Screen education: from film appreciation to media studies?
I had been very involved in the Society for Education in Film and Television (SEFT) in the 1960s when serious consideration of film and television took place only at the margins of educational establishments. Yet by the start of the 21st Century the study of the media in all their variety was everywhere. It was such a startling denouement that I was intrigued and determined to investigate. What surprised me was that no-one had yet taken up the challenge. For the many film and media studies graduates seeking doctorates, it was research that offered tremendous scope. I did subsequently come across other researchers looking into related areas like aspects of the film society movement or local film and cinema history. Perhaps it was simply that media teaching was now such an integral part of institutions that its graduates had no more curiosity about its provenance than an English or History graduate would have had about the institutional establishment of their respective studies.

Why does your account of the history start so early in the 20th Century?
The momentum of the movement picked up greatly in the 1970s and most of the brief introductory historical accounts that do exist tend to make only the scantest reference to preceding decades. But the huge investment of energy that took place in the 1970s was only possible because of the structures created by what had gone before. I was aware of this because I had known - and in some cases worked with - those who had been pioneers in the 1930s and 1940s. Subsequently much of the momentum in the 1950s had come from the ‘emergency trained’ teachers who had attended the one-year courses for ex-service personnel in the immediate post war period. They continued to play important roles as volunteers in the movement when I first became involved. They established the Society of Film Teachers (SFT), which subsequently became SEFT. Fortunately there is surviving and accessible evidence of their involvement to be found in the publications of the period: Film Teacher, The Film Teacher’s Handbook, Screen Education, Screen Education Yearbook.

What were your sources?
When I first proposed my project I had worked on the assumption that the two key organisations, the Education Department of the British Film Institute (BFI) and SEFT would have left substantial archives. Unfortunately this was not so. There were partial archives which were now being stored and maintained with proper recognition of their importance. But the current host archiving bodies had only been in a position to receive the material passed to them; they had had no control over what constituted the incoming documentation. I was particularly disappointed that the SFT/SEFT records from the 1950s and 1960s had disappeared, since I had acted as custodian of these documents when I was the Honorary Secretary of SEFT up till 1967. For me the process of research was rather different from that encountered by most researchers. Since so much of my enquiry depended on personal recollection I found myself interviewing people whom I had known or worked with some thirty five years ago. The response of my interviewees was a very positive one, since many were aware of the key period in which they had been involved and understandably thought having an account of it was a good idea. Many were prepared to share with me not only their recollections but their personal media teaching archives.

Apart from your involvement with SEFT you worked in the Education Department of the British Film Institute in the late 1960s and early 1970s. What are your recollections of that period?
The key figure at that time was Paddy Whannel who headed the Department. Like several of the SEFT activists, he had been trained as a teacher in the immediate post war period. While encouraging the members of his staff to develop their specialist areas of film criticism, he was committed to finding ways of introducing film and television study into schools. When he and Stuart Hall produced their ground-breaking book The Popular Arts, in order to give credibility to their enterprise, the dust jacket emphasised that each author had been a teacher in secondary modern schools. Unfortunately BFI Governors demonstrated more concern at Whannel’s drive for intellectual rigour among his colleagues than to his commitment to curriculum development in schools.

Why did you leave the BFI and return to teaching?
It is important that those whose careers have been consequent on their earning degrees in film or media to be aware there was no such career structure for teachers or lecturers until film and media studies began to be established in higher education in the late 1970s. For most of us ‘screen education’ was a phase we went through before returning to a more conventional career path in order to achieve promotion in teaching in school teaching or further education. Subsequently, once in post in a school, I always endeavoured to find ways to introduce aspects of film and media study into the curriculum.

How do you view the current situation around the delivery of media education?
It is curious, to say the least, that there was such a long gap of almost twenty years after SEFT disappeared before any comparable subject association was created for film and media teachers in schools, with the setting up of the Media Education Association in 2006. Of course there had long been an organisation for those teaching in higher education: Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA). This body had responded to the rapid and widespread expansion of media and associated subjects in the universities. The situation in schools was different. Essentially the years of collaboration between the BFI and SEFT had been the pioneer years with only limited developments in the curriculum and much teacher energy directed to establishing the credibility of media education. However, once there was scope within the secondary schools for students to sit public examinations in film and media, the focus for teachers became their own institutions. Their priorities were now set by Examining Boards. Government has subsequently thrown in a further complication by stressing the importance of ‘media literacy’ and giving responsibility for its implementation to a national regulatory body: Ofcom. In 1964 there was established the first course on which students might train and qualify as a teacher of Film and Television Studies; in 2009 there is now no similar provision for would-be media teachers. Consequently the teaching in schools of examination subjects in film and media is delivered by those who are usually drafted in from other disciplines.

Art and Design Education for the 21st Century

Art and Design Education for the 21st Century International Conference

Sallis Benney Theatre,
University of Brighton, UK
Friday 6 and Saturday 7 February 2009

This international conference is being held as part of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Brighton School of Art, the ancestor of the current Faculty of Arts & Architecture at the University of Brighton.

Conference delegates will be invited to a Reception and Private Viewing of the From Art School to University: Art & Design at Brighton 1859-2009 exhibition in the adjacent University of Brighton Art Gallery.

The ways in which approaches to art and design education have changed over the past 150 years are a matter of historical record. Although this conference acknowledges the radical changes that have been enacted in the past, its focus is unambiguously forward looking. The role and significance of art and design education in the future, economically, socially and culturally, as well as the challenges that it will confront, will be the focus of this important event.

The selected international speakers are leaders in their fields and will speak from a variety of perspectives. The speakers are Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, Anne Burdick, Dr Darlie O Koshy, Professor Darren Newbury, Professor Elaine Aston and Professor Bruce Brown.

Intellect publishes a number of journals that explore the fields of Art and Design Education. Journal of Writing in Creative Practice is the official organ of the Writing Purposefully in Art and Design (Writing PAD) network. It offers art and design institutions an arena in which to explore and develop the notion of thinking through writing as a parallel to visual discourse in art and design practice. Art, Design and Communication in Higher Education develops research in arts and media based subjects in educational institutions. The journal’s range encompasses all areas of higher education, focusing upon practice-based education in fine art, theoretical studies of media, cultural studies, art and design history. Both journals will be available for delegates to view at the event.

Please log on to www.brighton.ac.uk/arts150 find out more about the conference and other aspects of the 150 anniversary project.

CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS FOR ECREA BOOK SERIES

The Series Editors of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) invite the submission of book proposals for the ECREA Book Series:

WHO is invited to submit?
A clear preference is given to edited volumes that provide an overview of the work of the ECREA membership. At the same time, a degree of openness towards non-ECREA members is also considered to add value to the Book Series. For this reason, at least 50% of the chapters need to originate from ECREA members (individual members, or members through an institutional membership). For the same reason, at least one of the editors needs to be an ECREA member.

WHAT are we seeking?
ECREA Book Series Publications need to have a very clear theme on which they focus and which needs to be related to the focal points of ECREA (as described in article 3 of the ECREA statutes - see the ECREA website http://www.ecrea.eu). Although the series is open to the wide diversity of disciplines and subjects present among ECREA members, editorial choices will also take into account the potential audience of a proposed book.

What is the deadline for submissions?
Proposals need to be sent to the series editors (by regular mail or email) before 31 December, 2008 (17:00 GMT).

WHO subsidises the publication?
Each year, ECREA subsidises one publication. The ECREA Book Series editors will be in charge of selecting this publication. Their selection will be confirmed by a decision of the ECREA Executive Board.

Other publications may also be included in the ECREA Book Series. In this case, the editors will need to provide the necessary subsidies for the publication of the manuscript and for distributing a copy to each ECREA member. The inclusion of the book in the ECREA Book Series will still be dependant upon the decision of the ECREA Book Series editors and the Executive Board.

A more detailed version of the procedure is available at the 'Members only' segment of the ECREA website (http://www.ecrea.eu).

HOW should one submit a proposal or manuscript?
A form to submit a book proposal is available at the 'Members only' segment of the ECREA website (http://www.ecrea.eu). The form can be found in the DocArchive, in the folder "book series". The document is called "application form for book proposals." Only this form can be used for submitting a book proposal.

TO WHOM should it be sent?
Book proposals and manuscripts can be sent by regular mail or e-mail (attachment in .rtf, or .pdf format) to:

Nico Carpentier
Vrije Universiteit Brussel - Free University Brussels
Communication Studies Department - SCOM
Pleinlaan 2
B-1050 Brussels

Viva Viva AVPHD exhibition

We recently attended the Viva Viva AVPHD exhibition held at the University of Westminster on the evening of 8th December.

The exhibition was held in a stunning converted engineering construction hall called the P3 Gallery at the University of Westminster, near Baker Street. The event showcased the work of 20 audiovisual PhD students, many of whose work featured in the most recent issue of our Journal of Media Practice (9.3) guest edited by Tony Dowmunt.

It was an opportunity for the students and their lecturers (or lecturers involved in related courses at other institutions) to showcase their Audio visual installations. Drawing from cultural studies, fine art, anthropology and new media, there were displays of videos, films, audio-visual installations and their written theses. The event was sponsored by the University of Exeter and London Centre for Arts and Cultural Enterprise.

The AVPhD network is an AHRC funded training and support network for all those doing, supervising and examining audio-visual practice based doctorates. The practice research projects it covers centre on audio-visual time based media, inclusive but not restricted to documentary, fiction, narrative/non-narrative film, and non-linear/new media.

For more info, visit the AV PhD website: http://www.avphd.ac.uk/index.php

The event provided a good opportunity to meet with our authors and editors in the fields of media and art practice and to promote our books and journals in these areas. See above left, a photo of our stand at the event, and right, a shot of the gallery space featuring some of the installations.

An Interview with the BFI Filmstore Manager, Ian Ryan

What kind of collaboration is there between the bookshop and the British Film Institute (BFI)?

All profits made by the Filmstore go back into the BFI and the work it promotes. We get a lot of support from all the different departments. For example, the Programming and Events teams have been really good in helping promote the Filmstore by encouraging guests to either take part in signings, or by opening doors to suppliers and distributors of interesting books and films. Having access to the more independent and interesting releases allows us to stay attractive, and helps set us apart from other outlets. Another department that has played a key role in our success is education.

Can you describe some of the key differences between working directly with independent publishers compared with big multinational publishers?

To be honest for me there’s been little difference between the two. I suppose this is my chance to champion the role of the rep no matter whom they work for, be it the large multinational or the small independent. If I were to give any advice to small independent shops it would be to make sure you work with your rep, make the most of them as they have a lot to offer. In the current climate they need us as much as we need them.

What are the biggest challenges facing independent bookshops in the future?

In one word ‘Amazon’. I understand that Amazon can work on the basis of a 15% margin but it doesn’t help when a customer can buy books cheaper from Amazon than I can buy them from the publisher. In my opinion what publishers have allowed with Amazon is a complete undervaluing of their product. It’s difficult for us with all these advantages so I really feel for the small booksellers out there. It’s not all bad though – Amazon does have its ‘Achilles heel’, which is its size. It has too much to choose from. The role of a good bookshop is to siphon out the rubbish and offer the products that the customer is looking for. Also, it lacks the personal aspects that a lot of people find important.

ECREA conferencehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Intellect will be attending the ECREA conference in Barcelona 25th-28th November 2008. The 2nd European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) Conference aims to bring together specialists studying the role of communications and media in society, with a special emphasis on European challenges. The conference will deal with a broad range of topics, from philosophy, history, the economics of communication and innovations in reception studies to research into the relationship between media and society, such as its impact on democracy, migrations, sustainable development, identities and cultural diversity.

The main focus of the conference, Communication Policies and Culture in Europe, is one of great importance. By focusing on this theme, the conference aims to contribute to questions surrounding the development of communication policies (regulation, impulse, etc) for European culture in the face of the new globalisation challenges.

In addition, the local committee will seek to address a range of topics of general interest in Europe by inviting contributions of Spanish academics. This will include matters of education and communication, local media and communication, and academic collaboration between Europe and Latin America.

As well as meeting with authors, editors and academics in the field, Intellect will be promoting media and culture titles at the conference. Especially relevant will be Intellect's ECREA Series including the recently published, Finding the Right Place on the Map: Central and Eastern European Media Change in a Global Perspective edited by Karol Jakubowicz and Miklós Sükösd and the forthcoming Press Freedom and Pluralism in Europe Concepts and Conditions edited by Andrea Czepek, Melanie Hellwig and Eva Nowak.
