Young4Film

Based on the original Moving Cinema methodology, which has been developed since 2014, in 2023 we started Young4Film, a network of European film festivals: Kino Otok – Isola Cinema International Film Festival, Beldocs International Documentary Film Festival, Vilnius International Short Film Festival, Piccolo Grande Cinema, Cinehill Film Festival and Seminci - Semana Internacional de Cine de Valladolid.

Our aim is to promote European films amongst the groups of primary, secondary and university students. We entrust Young programmers with the responsibility of becoming part of the festival teams, while their film programmes and promotional material are shared with young audiences at all the festivals within the network. The selected films are accompanied by original digital educational materials, which are available to other film curators, film educators and teachers, ensuring that their reach extends beyond the Young4Film network and wider partnership. In addition to the five European film festivals, three cultural organisations working in the field of film education are also involved in the network’s activities: A Bao A Qu (Barcelona, Spain), Meno Avilys (Vilnius, Lithuania) and Kijufi (Berlin, Germany).
