Transnational and Collaborative Film Education

Opportunity:
Transnational and Collaborative Film Education

Do you have a passion for film?
Are you interested in learning how to curate film events with peers from around the world?

​

Then the Transnational and Collaborative Film Education programme could be for you.

The Transnational and Collaborative Film Education programme is a new and exciting transnational film curation opportunity, created through a partnership between The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK, HKSAR), Almaty Management University (AlmaU, Kazakhstan), Queen’s University (Canada) and the University of Glasgow (Scotland, UK).

This 16-week programme brings together students from different cultural, geographical and institutional contexts to learn, connect and curate film events collaboratively. It offers a supportive and friendly space to exchange ideas, build friendships and explore how film curation is practised across the world.

​

What You’ll Do

Learn step-by-step through the Curate-It platform - an interactive digital course that guides you through every stage of film curation.

Take part in weekly two-hour online sessions (every Tuesday from 3 March 2026) to share ideas, develop projects, and collaborate internationally.

Work with professional mentors and fellow students to research films, discuss programming approaches, and co-curate events.

Respond to the shared theme “A Landscape of Change”, exploring how films reflect and shape transformations in society, identity and the world around us.

Gain hands-on experience in programming, marketing, budgeting and event delivery - with a dedicated budget to support your group project.

​

The Outcome

By the end of the programme, each group will curate and present three public film screenings and a complementary event in each location, taking place in June 2026. These screenings will also be available online, forming an international constellation of film events.
