The creation of a web-based archive of scenes from Spanish films for use in high school classrooms.
We wish to create a web-based distance-learning mechanism that would enable high school teachers and students to use excerpts from Spanish films to improve their knowledge of Spanish language and culture. We would offer a group of teachers immersion in the history and interpretation of Spanish film, then provide a subset of that group with training and resources for devloping the searchable, annotated, we archive of film scenes. The archive would then be made broadly available through formal programs and courses and publicized widely through various organized media.
