Projector is a collaboration project between Routes NW & Cornerhouse Manchester. This is a year-round education programme, which uses film, moving image and contemporary art to enrich students’ learning and bring innovation to the classroom. Throughout the year we have a variety of MFL study sessions specially programmed to support GCSE, AS and A2 students of French, German, Spanish and Urdu, all led by native language speakers.
Each of our study sessions use film as an exciting and accessible way to encourage students to use their language skills. Students will enjoy a specially selected film, screened in the target language with English subtitles. Sessions are supported by contextualising introductions, which provide information about the themes and characters of the film along with information about the film's director and place within film history and culture. Following the film, students complete language exercises based on the film using their new vocabulary.
Films are selected to complement GCSE, AS and A2 specifications and provide excellent material for topic-based work and oral exam preparation.
El Orfanato (15)
(The Orphanage)
Dir Juan Antonio Bayona / Spain 2007 / 100 mins / In Spanish with English
Fernando Cayo, Mabel Rivera, Belén Rueda, Geraldine Chaplin, Roger Príncep
Laura, her husband and young son Simón move to a former orphanage where she’d lived as a child. But the place has a disturbing effect on Simón who befriends some disconcerting imaginary playmates. El Orfanato is a story of grief, remorse and maternal longing, cloaked in the ghostly garb of a classic chiller.
