Lessons from a wild island: Nordic film education through the senses

A group of teachers and students involved in film education travelled to the Atlantic coast of Norway – outbound from Gothenburg, Oslo and Helsinki. They took part in an intensive course on the island of Vega (Vegaøyan) guided by an idea of isolating each of the five senses to deepen individual artistic practice through film – using situated pedagogy and embodied learning approaches. This article offers a case study of wild pedagogy, with reflections from individual teachers who took part in the course, as well as broader lessons learned on the island, and from the island – lessons that speak to the practice and pedagogy of film and situatedness.
