BackAlmodovar, BFI Study Day
On Tuesday 5 December, Years 12 and 13 students who are studying A Level Spanish at Westminster City School's Sixth Form had a captivating study day on Almodovar at BFI Southbank. The day provided students with an introduction to the Spanish Director Pedro Almodovar's themes and styles with a screening.
Students who attended the study day thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have benefitted from the opportunity to also engage with other students from different schools.
Comments about the day included the following:
"The conference in the morning on cinematic techniques and Almodovar's work was so interesting; I had no idea I was going to be doing Media Studies in Spanish which was a great surprise."
"What a twist! Some of the scenes really took me by surprise which definitely kept me engaged, absolutely brilliant."
"I did not expect that I would have to speak Spanish, but I'm glad a did it. It was worth the visit because there were many things that would not be the same in a classroom setting."
