Movies in the development of future teachers: teaching one to look

In this paper I share some of my experiences as a teacher trainer at a college for Mathematics teachers, where I taught the subject area "Didactics", in 2010. I offer some of the practices that were put in place in the duration of that training. These (practices) bring to the fore the potential of movies, written works in the process of training students. I highlight the importance of watching a movie together because the aesthetic experience shared, permits a growth in knowledge and feelings and inspires action. I bring the voices of my students, documented in their weekly records, to show the "marks" (or impressions) left by the movies on each one's developmental path, towards becoming a mathematics teacher. In highlighting this practice, I emphasize the importance of "teaching to look", in the quest for well-educated, committed teachers and in the bringing-about-of a more just and democratic society.
