In-person Film Screening
The young filmmakers have explored the theme of ‘Care, Community and Hope’ in imaginative, critical, and radical ways. These films tell vibrant multilingual stories about actions that matter and how children and young people are finding ways to resolve conflicts, find hope, and form strong bonds and friendships. The festival shares the stories these young filmmakers have told about their local and global communities and their futures. There are 19 languages included across the 19 digital stories exhibited at the in-person festival. These lead educators have worked with young participants (5 – 18 years old) across 12 educational institutions (primary, secondary, community-based complementary) and 5 countries (Cyprus, India, Italy, Taiwan, and UK).
