The research was conducted among students and teachers of the Croatian language. Research among students is conducted on a sample of 213 students from two primary schools. Research among teachers of the Croatian language is carried out electronically, through a link to an online survey, a sample of 73 teachers. The results showed that students and teachers have shown interest in the movie and feel that the film is neglected in the teaching of media culture. Furthermore, the students believe that despite of to low representation of film in education have enough knowledge about the film, as opposed to the teacher of the Croatian language, who feel that they do not have enough knowledge and they need additional training in this area. Both students and teachers are partially satisfied with the proposed films to watch in class.While about media culture as an independent subject they have different opinions. The students do not believe the media culture should be set aside as an independent subject, and the teachers say they need an independent subject, which would process media culture, and therefore there will be more school hours devoted to movie.
