<p>This article carries out a filmic and literature review of childhood representation in the cinema, its implications on the building up of a determined visual culture and the ways to see engendered in the school environment. To do so, related films were analyzed and works done by Inés Dussel and Jorge Larrosa were revised. They have found the relationships between cinema, the child image construction and the uses of cinema with&nbsp;children as a means to knowledge and the spectator formation. Children recognize themselves in the image and learn to be spectators while they<br>develop their argumentative, communicative, critical and decision making skills.</p>
