WHY DVD-s?

Filmminimo wants to support educators and parents in order to keep up with technical developments and spiritual evolution of children due to the enormous flow of information to which they have access.

We hope that the school system, which is the first educational universe of the child, can introduce all 3 kinds of teaching: formal, non-formal, informal.

The themes are chosen considering the difficulty of understanding them through formal education and the different age categories: 3-5years, 6-8 years, 9-12 years.  

THE TIME EXPERIMENT

Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sport (Romania)

„The film THE TIME EXPERIMENT is suitable for children between 5 and 8 years old (preschool, first and second graders). It may be used during nature science classes as well as mathematics, for exercising attention and also for showing how hours, days, weeks, months and seasons go by. The characters are nice, close to the audience's age. The activities scheduled during the week are educational. The plot and the action are exciting, involving children and capturing their attention.�

SUGESTIONS/TRICKS

Choosing to show the movie in class, depending on the moment when the screening is done, can have different effects on the pupils' behavior. The film can be started and stopped at any moment, depending on the plan of the lesson. The kids pay more easily attention to the proposed theme if the lesson starts with a screening. They are introduced to a story and its theme, and are waiting to hear what's happening next and what else they're going to find out. The mix between the teacher's information and the film moments offers a visual expression of every aspect of the subject and an analogy with actions and phenomenons from their own world. The screening of the last part of the film can be introduced as a reward for the attention given during the class.
