Una película en la mano y un real en la cabeza

In this paper, we focus on the answers of the 32 Argentinean teachers who had participated in the research project entitled ‘Schools’ screens: cinema and Geography teachers’. This research was conducted by the International Research Network Images, Geographies and Education. We listed all the films that Argentinean teachers could recall under two categories: the films they have seen and the ones they have projected as part of their teaching practices. Besides the fact, that the latter is more extense that the former, we think that both lists raise interesting issues to learn more about teachers’ visual culture in a country that since 1990s has experienced an increase in its film production as well as the exploration of different film’s forms of narrative. The analysis of each list and the identification of similarities and differences between them may offer some clues to understand how teachers’ visual culture shape the worlds that can get at classrooms. Furthermore, to imagine other possibilities that films open to geographical education at schools.
