Elusive presence. Film and new media in a new core curriculum of public education

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article analyses the current situation of the film and other media inthe contemporary core curriculum of public education. The definition of film education,established in the document, is presented on the basis of the qualitative and quantitativeanalysis. The author uses a broad perspective in order to provide the reader witha comprehensible description that includes various aspects of the current situation.The article begins with the analysis of the core curriculum for lower primary schools andmoves on to the upper primary schools focusing on the details of teaching Polish. Then,the author concentrates on the core curriculum for high schools and art classes for all levelsshowing that the established model of film education is scattered and chaotic. It seems moreof a case of an incidental arrangement rather than a deliberate and thought-out planning asthere is no proper project of film education as a school subject. That is why, the author ofthe article uses the term elusive when referring to film education. Another reason for that isthe fact that film education as a subject focuses on the usage of ICT. However, media literacyand film education should be perceived as components of cultural education. Films should bediscussed and analyzed in a similar way to literature.
