Tiivistelmä
Film literacy encompasses the abilities to consciously select, analyse and produce films. Previous research has established the required knowledge, experience, and strategies for teaching film literacy. However, the research to date has mostly focused on classes with students of similar cultural backgrounds. Ongoing immigration in Europe and internationalization of education prompt the development of film literacy teaching practices that are suitable for international environments. This study aims to present a connection between film literacy and intercultural education, and thus develop pedagogical solutions to teaching film literacy from an intercultural perspective. This paper is based on a case study conducted at Tampere University in the form of an international film literacy class of 23 students. The research data includes students’ assignments and four follow up interviews completed a year after the course. Thematic content analysis of data justified the teaching methods and indicated that students had developed intercultural understanding and improved their film literacy skills.
