In the project "Motion pictures at en exhibition" we will create a digitally based exhibition, inspired by Modest Mussorgsky’s classical music suite called “Pictures at an Exhibition”. We use historic pictures from our local areas and they give them a new current life. This is conveyed by means of new photographs and paintings, historical and contemporary music as well as short self recorded movies. All of this will come together in an iPad based interactive digital application that allows the visitor to go from room to room and slide to slide in order to experience the historical and the contemporary image.

 

We will even be involving documentary films of all the processes explained step by step. This is so that others can learn how to organise their time and possibly make such films. Four countries, Lithuania, Spain/Catalonia, England, and Aland /Finland, will take part, involving a total of roughly 140 people directly, not including other stakeholders. T he schools are of a varied range of social, economic and cultural backgrounds. We work through the idea of workshops, coherence of documantary  films and presentation days aided by digital tools in order to complete the following steps; Painting, Photography, music creation and music reforming, filming with scenography and clothing creation with properties creation,  sound production, digital app working and editing and the finale with live exhibition and digital app release.  We will work in groups and pairs, both within the domestic classroom situation but also internationally across borders.

 

The pupils will be responsible for the teaching material they produce and wish to share via film. This is centered around  co-operation via digital work. Portfolio work, hand made or digital,  will allow us and pupils to monitor the process. The results we envisage are a complete set of documentary films including a completed production of a digital exhibition and its process. Via the various computer based platforms can we share our project, its findings and results to various groups around the world. By working together with local education authorities can we also share findings at local, national and international levels. Stakeholders such as local museums and galleries will also help to spread findings to other interested groups. Access to this is something that can be beneficial to all involved for the foreseeable future.
