Join ISTA for an immersive three-day IB DP Film workshop designed to deepen your understanding of film practise, pedagogy, and assessment within the IB framework.

‍

Led by expert film educators, this hands-on professional development experience explores key aspects of film learning and teaching through both creative practise and academic inquiry. 

‍

Across three days, participants will:

‍

• Engage in practical exercises around reading, analysing, and contextualising film. 
• Experiment with production roles and collaboratively producing film.
• Explore strategies for teaching film analysis and production within the DP Film course.
• Gain clarity and confidence in applying IB Film assessment criteria and designing engaging learning experiences for students. 

‍

Participants will leave with actionable strategies and a deeper understanding of how to inspire critical and creative engagement with film in their classrooms. 

‍

This event features the following specific workshop categories: 

• Category 1 & 2 (Combined) – For mixed groups of new and experienced teachers exploring both foundational and advanced aspects of IB Film teaching.
  
  • Please Note: Although this is a combined learning experience, participants register for either Category 1 or Category 2, depending on their level of experience. Each participant receives an IB certificate for the category in which they are registered, not for both.
    
    
• Category 3: Practical Film Production – For experienced IB Film teachers interested in exploring the creative and technical processes of filmmaking and how to integrate them into the DP Film curriculum.
