Film Ed

Film "When I started teaching, the first film I showed to kids was the Odessa Steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin. After it had finished, one of my terrifyingly forthright students banged her fists on the table and said, 'Why don?t they show some of that sort of stuff on telly instead of the rubbish they do show? And I thought, 'Oooh, that?s interesting - I wasn?t expecting that.' It really was the starting point for everything I have gone on to do." -- Cary Bazalgette, Head of Education at the BFI interviewed by Mira Katbamna for the RSA.
