Using Film to Examine Heritage, Identity and Global Citizenship: supporting the work of the Bautzen Memorial to Engage New Audiences

该提案旨在实现库克AHRC项目AH/K005359/1“筛选欧洲遗产”带来的意想不到的影响。该项目将与德国包岑纪念馆--前东德秘密警察的主要监狱--以及社区电影制作项目“柏林青年电影”合作，与英国电影学院电影学院合作，共同制作一部电影和配套的在线教育材料，这将成为包岑永久展览的一部分，还将提交给柏林和利兹的年轻人电影节(首先)。这部电影将与一群来自英国以及前东德和西德国家的年轻人合作，利用最初的研究成果，即流行文化如何反映当代德国不断变化的德意志民主共和国遗产，以及纪念馆的档案材料。该项目将为接受制作这部电影的培训的年轻人提供一种手段，创造性地反思从民主德国独裁政权中吸取的教训，以帮助当代理解民主、全球公民身份以及‘遗产’概念与我们的认同感之间的相互竞争的方式。该项目是探索性的，旨在为希望在各种环境中开展类似教育电影制作项目的团体提供一个模式。我们有许多组织希望看到这一试点的结果，包括与世界各地青年团体合作的国际发展慈善机构国际服务。我们在这个项目中的主要合作伙伴是包岑纪念馆。纪念馆的目的是让人们对东德政权的罪行保持记忆，作为对当代社会的历史警示。其战略的核心是支持年轻人的政治教育，无论是在前东德和西德各州，还是在欧洲范围内。纪念馆目前专注于扩大游客群体，其中主要是东德游客。该项目的目的是支持纪念馆的这一努力，让东德和西德人作为参与者聚集在一起。此外，通过纳入英国参与者，它还将帮助纪念馆开发面向国际的英语教学材料，以加强对国际游客的提供。项目团队和包岑纪念馆还将与教育电影制作慈善机构‘Landesverband Kinder-und JugendFilm柏林’(LKJB)合作，旨在将年轻人从被动的视听媒体消费者转变为积极和批判性的实践者。该慈善机构为年轻人提供基本电影制作技巧的专业介绍，并支持他们以小组形式开发和实现自己的项目。LKJB的战略目标之一是通过视听实践鼓励年轻人提出关于社会和历史的问题。该慈善机构对与民主德国过去建立这样的联系有着浓厚的兴趣，这段历史年轻人没有亲眼目睹，但对于理解当代德国及其在欧洲的角色至关重要。LKJB通常在柏林及其周边地区工作，如果能够通过与包岑纪念馆的合作扩大其影响范围，将大大受益。此外，该项目还将使LKJB与英国电影学院的电影学院建立联系，使两个电影培训计划能够分享最佳实践。

This proposal sets out to realize unanticipated impacts of Cooke's AHRC project AH/K005359/1 'Screening European Heritage'. The project will work with the Bautzen Memorial in Germany - formerly the main prison of the East German Secret Police - and the community filmmaking project 'Landesverband Kinder- und Jugendfilm Berlin', in collaboration with the British Film Institute Film Academy, to co-produce a film and accompanying online educational materials that will become part of the permanent exhibition at Bautzen and will also be submitted to young people's film festivals (in the first instance) in Berlin and Leeds. Working with a group of young people from the UK and both the former East and West German states, the film will draw on the findings of the original research on the ways in which popular culture reflects the changing legacy of the GDR in contemporary Germany, along with archival material from the Memorial. The project will provide young people, who will receive training to make the film, with a means to reflect creatively upon the lessons to be learnt from the GDR dictatorship for contemporary understandings of democracy, global citizenship and the competing ways that notions of 'heritage' relate to our sense of identity. The project is exploratory in nature and is envisaged as providing a model for groups wishing to undertake similar educational film-making projects in a range of settings. We have interest from a number of organisations wishing to see the results of this pilot, including International Service, the international development charity which works with youth groups around the world.Our main partner in this project is the Bautzen Memorial. It is the aim of the Memorial to keep alive the memory of the crimes of the East German regime as a historical warning for contemporary society. Central to its strategy is to support the political education of young people, both across the former East and West German states and also within a European context. The Memorial is currently focussed on expanding its visitor demographic, which is predominantly East German. It is the aim of this project to support the Memorial in this endeavour, bringing together as participants East and West Germans. Moreover, through the inclusion of UK participants it will also help the Memorial to develop internationally-focussed, English language pedagogical material in order to enhance its offering for international visitors. The project team and Bautzen Memorial will also work with 'Landesverband Kinder- und Jugendfilm Berlin' (LKJB), an educational filmmaking charity that aims to turn young people from passive consumers of audio-visual media into active and critical practitioners. The charity offers young people a professional introduction to basic filmmaking techniques and supports them in developing and realising their own projects in small groups. One of LKJB's strategic aims is to prompt young people to ask questions about society and history by means of their audio-visual practice. The charity has a strong interest in creating such an engagement with the GDR past, a period of history which young people did not witness but which is crucial to understanding contemporary Germany and its role in Europe. Normally working within Berlin and its surrounding areas, the LKJB would benefit greatly from being able to extend its reach through cooperation with the Bautzen Memorial. The project will, moreover, allow LKJB to develop links with the British Film Institute's Film Academy, allowing both film-training initiatives to share best practice.
