A British Film Institute Key Stage 5 Study Day

Contemporary and New Wave Cinema

with screening of La Haine (Mathieu Kassovitz,1995)
Wednesday 20 January 2027 10:00am

This study day is aimed at helping KS5 French students develop their film analysis skills and build a deeper understanding of the styles and themes of key set texts on the AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas specifications.

Conducted in French, the morning will consist of a clip-based presentation introducing the concepts of the French New Wave, highlighting key films of the movement such as The 400 Blows and using scene analysis
to reveal to how it influenced the style and themes of contemporary French films including La Haine (1995) and Entre Le Murs (2008).

By exploring key scenes and applying textual analysis, students will have the opportunity to learn about film language, gain a deeper understanding of the set text and expand their vocabulary.

This event is intended for teachers and students only – both days are hosted by Muriel Huet, Education Consultant, filmmaker and French language specialist.
