Abstract

Cinema, education and human rights form an important triad on which we should rethink our teaching practices. The cinema is present in the school in several ways, but the field that is formed when cinema is used for educational purposes has led to research on cinema in school as alterity, investigating its use as a mere pedagogical support. Human rights make a fundamental contribution to this process, as they bring to this issue an ethical and aesthetic dimension of Audiovisual (CHION, 2011). On the other hand, we can consider that a scenario of school violence can only exist in the absence of human rights. This work reflects on cinema in school, observing the concept of Educational Curatorship (VERGARA, 1996) as a key element in the fight against violence, and as a tool for guaranteeing an Education in human rights.
