I have created a course called film studies (at Mark R. Isfeld secondary on Vancouver Island) with these central beliefs in mind. Students are regulary learning about character, theme, symbolism, and conflict, but not through novels and short stories, rather through film. Schools no only should take advantage of students interest in film, but should be more responsible in teaching students about the subtleties of film making and the messages they contain, exposing them to the rich history captured in film, and the different genres which each hold their own rules and messages.
