PARIS , FRANCE , January 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Revolution-Edu the heartfelt tribute to Sir Ken Robinson is an official selection at the Sydney Indie Short Film Festival Winter 2022. Prior to this recent selection the film was a finalist in the Paris International Short Festival. “It is remarkably gratifying to continue to be recognized and awarded around the globe for this important and heartfelt film on educational reform," explained filmmaker Maclovia Martel.

The short documentary film honors the life and contributions of Sir Ken Robinson, one of the world's purest voices calling for an educational revolution. Robinson, who grew up in a working class Liverpool family, was the most articulate and passionate voice for empowering children and inspiring their creativity. From 1985 to 1988, Robinson was director of the Arts in Schools Project, an initiative to develop the arts education throughout England and Wales. The project worked with more than 2,000 teachers, artists and administrators in a network of over 300 initiatives and influenced the formulation of the National Curriculum for England. His three TED talks on the importance of creativity in education were viewed over 80 million times. Robinson died on 21 August 2020, at the age 70.

The film Revolution-Edu was officially nominated for best Micro Short at the Los Angeles Indie Short Festival. It was also an official selection of SXSW EDU, The Liverpool Film Festival, and the “Imagine If...” event founded to honor Sir Ken Robinson and inspire everyone to imagine the extraordinary.
