Documentary film in museum education based on the series 'On the Pathways of Prizren Silversmiths'

Polazeći od teze da su muzeji prvenstveno edukativne institucije okrenute prema učenju i potrebama posjetitelja, rad se bavi analizom korištenja dokumentarnog filma u muzejskom edukativnom djelovanju. Temeljeno na teorijskim postavkama koje naglašavaju estetske i informativne vrijednosti (dokumentarnog) filma i njegov potencijal za razvijanje ljudskih vrijednosti poput empatije, tolerancije, senzibilizacije te razvoj višestrukih inteligencija, suradničkog učenja itd., rad se posebno bavi konkretnim primjerom realizacije i korištenja dokumentarnog serijala “Putevima prizrenskih srebrnara” u edukativnim programima budućeg Muzeja filigrana u Prizrenu. Riječ je o dokumentarcu koji iz perspektive nositelja nematerijalne kulturne baštine (majstora filigranista), pokazuje kako su kulturni, ekonomski i politički faktori utjecali na srebrnarstvo- filigranstvo u Prizrenu tijekom zadnjih sto godina. Supporting the thesis that museums are primarily educational institutions turned towards visitor learning and towards their needs, this paper analyzes the use of documentary film in museum educational activities. Based on theoretical claims which emphasize the aesthetic and informative values of the documentary film, its potential for cultivating human values such as empathy, tolerance, sensibility, as well as the development of multiple intelligences, collaborative learning, etc., the paper focuses on the concrete example of the production and use of the documentary series "On the Pathways of Prizren Silversmiths" in the educative programs of the future Museum of filigree in Prizren. This is a documentary which from the perspective of the intangible cultural heritage holders (filigreemakers), shows how cultural, economic, and political factors influenced silversmithing (filigree making) in Prizren during the last 100 years.
