https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4755-9691This article explores animation as a popular mode of moving image education in
the wider field of Scottish film education, through a discussion with film education
practitioner Jonathan Charles. We reflect on Jonathan’s pedagogic approach to
film education, the way in which it is shaped and aligned with changing institutional
and funding imperatives, and the affordances of animation, through a detailed
look at a film-making project with a primary school in West Lothian, Scotland.
We reflect upon the challenge to maintain in-depth film experiences for young
people, with training and working with teachers to allow film experiences to be
scalable and multiply to reach a wider range of young people. We also discuss the
drive to give young people agency throughout the film-making process, and how
film education practitioners and teachers can best facilitate that.https://doi.org/10.14324/FEJ.04.1.064pubpub
