The LOST ANALOGUE project aimed to achieve the following objectives: - Contribute to innovation in vocational film education – By reintroducing analogue filmmaking methodologies, the project sought to fill an educational gap and enhance technical and artistic skills that have been lost after the digital transition. - Increase the attractiveness of film education – Through an interdisciplinary approach that combines filmmaking with music and other artistic fields, the project aimed to make vocational film education more engaging and relevant. - Stimulate new learning and teaching practices – By co-creating educational resources and methodologies in a transnational collaboration, the project intended to develop innovative pedagogical tools for film educators and learners. - Strengthen European cooperation in interdisciplinary education – The project fostered collaboration between European organizations active in film, music and interdisciplinary education, building their capacity for future joint initiatives.
We applied for this project to address a significant gap in vocational film education created by the disappearance of analogue filmmaking from training programs after the digital transition. Digital technologies, while dominant, often limit students’ understanding of film's material foundations and reduce the artistic and technical discipline once required in analogue workflows. This has led to a loss of essential knowledge and practice among both learners and educators. We also identified a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration in film education – particularly between film and music – which we aimed to address. By reintroducing analogue techniques and encouraging collaboration between creative fields, we offered an innovative, hands-on educational model that merges artistic experimentation with vocational training. The project responded to the need for more engaging, reflective and practice-based approaches in VET while also strengthening transnational cooperation among cultural and educational institutions.
