Vitello by Dorte Bengtson, the animated film, was screened to a wider audience of 110 children and their parents at two festival locations, one in the main festival area of Izola, and the other in the arthouse cinema in Ljubljana, Kinodvor. This was one of the central films for children over the age of 12 years old of the 15th festival edition and the screening in Izola was done with the introduction by Young Programmers who selected the film, followed by a shorter debate after the screening (and afterwards a more focused open discussion with education and film professionals). The main focuses of the discussions was the character of Vitello, his social and family circumstances and the way that children relate to them, animation style, the use of colours.

144 pupils from the local primary school Vojka Šmuc gathered to attend The Green Bike by Haiffa al-Mansour and Bekas by Karzan Kader in the festival venue, the House of Culture. The screening started with the introduction of the film. After the screening, a longer conversation about the film’s topics, style, cultural background followed.
