Next Teacher Training Seminar 

Using Film in Class: Film Adaptations of Literary Texts by Fiona Pleasance

On March 13th 2026, from 9am - 3:30pm at the Casablanca Filmkunsttheater Nürnberg


This Film Analysis Seminar is designed to give teachers a strong foundation in film interpretation, making it easier and more engaging to incorporate movies into your lessons.
This seminar takes a closer look at what happens when plays and novels are turned into films. We begin by discussing some of the misconceptions surrounding the process of adaptation itself. This is followed by an analysis of the similarities and the differences inherent in the various media of theatre, literature and cinema, and what can and does happen when texts are transposed from one to the other.
 Participants will receive suggestions for different approaches, films, and topics to discuss with their students. Particular emphasis is placed on screen adaptations of the works of William Shakespeare.
Sign up now to transform your film discussions and inspire your students with the magic of cinema!
The seminar is free of charge. Registration via FIBS: https://fibs.alp.dillingen.de/ (Number: 430737-1).
