We are pleased to announce that we are open for registration for the upcoming festival in 2024!  We aim for TREFF to be a film festival, as well as a conference where film makers, pedagogues and teachers in higher education can meet, share experiences and be inspired.

How can film promote learning?

Film as a medium cannot magically fix or increase learning, but when combined in a pedagogical context, it can be a useful tool to support students in their own learning process. 

If you are a filmmaker, pedagogue or teacher working with film and learning, we hope you want to be a part of the festival! TREFF is also for those not initially interested in using film in teaching. If you are concerned with student learning and good pedagogical practices in higher education, this festival is just right for you. TREFF aims to inspire more people to take the plunge and use film for their own teaching.
