Taking wonders to the margins ( Maravillas al Margen)

Abstract

Translated into English for the first time, this article by film educator and outreach worker Alicia Vega describes her experiences conducting a series of Cinema Workshops in highly disadvantaged communities across Chile, which sought to provide younger children with early, formative understandings of cinema. A rich account of the experience, incorporating a variety of images drawn from the workshops, the article provides an intimate, detailed reflection on a remarkable film education and humanitarian endeavour. It concludes with a series of testimonials from children who participated in the project, as well as from their parents and other participants.
