The aim is to strengthen the film competence of teachers, so the discussions initiated by Open Eyes can be continued in the classroom with appropriate expertise. Topics in the past were amongst others \u201cA Concise Guide to Film Dramaturgy,\u201d \u201cThe Documentary Film: Between Staging and Reality,\u201d \u201cCinematic Narrative,\u201d \u201cThe Holocaust in Fiction and Documentary Films,\u201d and \u201cBetween Empowerment and Exploitation: The Documentary Film and Its Protagonists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The Open Eyes trainings are officially recognised by the state and are open to teachers from all over Bavaria who want to incorporate film into their lessons.

Alongside stereotypical, discriminatory, and exclusionary representations, they also encounter productions that offer alternative and emancipatory perspectives. This workshop introduces participants to anti-discrimination approaches to film and television education. Using series such as <em>Uncivilized<\/em>, <em>Schwarze Fr\u00fcchte<\/em>, and Friends as case studies, participants learn to identify and critically examine problematic representations and dominant narratives. They will reflect on their personal viewing habits and explore practical methods for encouraging young people to engage critically with audiovisual media. Through both individual and collaborative analysis of selected film clips, participants will develop analytical skills while engaging in discussion and shared reflection.<br>    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canan Turan is a film scholar, dramaturg, curator, and moderator. Her work explores how cinema and television reproduce or challenge dominant narratives and visual cultures, and how they can open up emancipatory perspectives on history, society, and identity. She pursues these questions through her writing, her podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/7l9WmFJkY4Ay0tvdeq1Cjo\"><em>film.macht.kritisch.<\/em><\/a>, as well as workshops and public lectures. She directed the short film<em> K\u0131ymet <\/em>(2012) and served as Creative Producer of the documentary From Here (2020). Since 2023, she has been a member of the Berlinale Generation selection committee. She is currently developing <strong>FILM\/POWER!, <\/strong>an academy and community dedicated to critical film literacy and the analysis of power and discrimination in audiovisual culture. <br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cananturan.de\"><strong>www.cananturan.de<\/strong><\/a>     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Past trainings<\/summary>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-461897f4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"842\" fetchpriority=\"low\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Plakat.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Plakat.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Plakat-400x566.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Plakat-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Between empowerment and exploitation: The documentary film and its protagonists<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Officially recognised training for teachers with film screening <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Friday, 18.10. 2024, 10 a.m. &#8211; 4 p.m. <\/strong>, including a 1h lunch break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Led by Andrea Kuhn (Festival director NIHRFF)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film screening: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/en\/subject\/\">SUBJECT<\/a>, with guest Margie Ratliff (protagonist and producer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><button id=\"at-209430\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller c-accordion__title--button\" role=\"button\"><strong>More Information<\/strong><\/button><div id=\"ac-209430\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documentaries that deal with human rights and political issues are booming, and films about dramatic individual fates in particular often reach an audience of millions in the age of streaming services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such films can be an opportunity for the people in front of the camera to share their stories with a broad public. They can voice their political concerns and, perhaps for the first time in their lives, experience self-empowerment by being recognised as active shapers of their own lives and able to initiate significant (political and social) change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common means of keeping the necessary viewer interest high is strong emotionalisation, which works through identification with the central protagonists of a film. However, this raises fundamental ethical questions about the responsibility of filmmakers: Does the urge to tell stories with the greatest possible audience appeal outweigh consideration for the protagonists and the consequences that their portrayal in front of an audience of millions can have? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effects of acclaimed documentary films on the people who appear in front of the camera can be very complex. What wounds can be torn when people are confronted with their old traumas every time a film is released? And how can the safety of protagonists who speak out against the political conditions in their home country be guaranteed?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And how can you deal with such films in the classroom? What if the topic and \u2018message\u2019 are exactly right, but the treatment of the people in front of the camera is questionable on closer inspection? This media ethics issue is intended to strengthen media skills.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documentary<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/en\/subject\/\"> SUBJECT <\/a>(USA 2022, 93 min., original English version with German subtitles, directed by Jennifer Tiexiera and Camilla Hall) also poses precisely these fundamental questions based on a number of successful documentary film productions. The focus is on the people in front of the camera, who talk about their lives after and with \u2018their\u2019 films. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-461897f4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"734\" fetchpriority=\"low\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26352\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:236px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2.jpg 734w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nihrff.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/SUBJECT_Protagonistin_Margie-Ratliff-edited-2-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Margie Ratliff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of this professional development session, we would like to watch this film together and discuss it with the film\u2019s producer and main protagonist, Margie Ratliff.
