- Abstract
- This article examines film literacy initiatives in Spain operating outside formal education systems. By analyzing 65 organizations involved in cinema pedagogy, the study identifies the canon of films and directors promoted to students in non-formal educational contexts. The findings reveal a dominance of North American and French cinema, limited representation of Spanish national cinema, and an absence of films addressing Spain’s historical memory. The study highlights the cultural implications of film education practices and questions the diversity and inclusiveness of cinematic literacy promoted within Spanish educational initiatives.
