Josep Arbiol, festival's director, 2015 catalog :
"The teaching of
media has evolved and today it is considered an important part
of education due to its immediate relevance to contemporary
society. Communication is no longer restricted to spoken and
written language. It also encompasses the reading of images
and writing of audiovisual documents. Reading and writing
visual messages should be a very relevant skill in the lives of
students, as relevant in fact as reading and writing verbal language.
As the media is present wherever we are,its teaching
must also be applied to all fields of education. This implies the
teachers’ and students´ need for media literacy, as audiovisual
education is not limited to one area but it´s a common factor
in all subjects. We need media education and new tecnologies
because they are a privilege in our society, and also a similar
revolution to the printer at thetime. Audiovisual education will
create future critical readers and consumers of media. Thanks
to media literacy media professionals will have a well-informed
demanding audience with ample technical knowledge."
