The ultimate goal of this network is to enrich European film culture.
In September 2013 representatives of youth film festivals and mediacenters from 15 European countries met at the international festival of high school film ”Four River Film Festival” in Karlovac, Croatia. There they jointly founded the “Youth Cinema Network”. It is a network for European youth film festivals and mediacenters whose aim is to improve the exchange among member institutions and support youth film and media pedagogy.
Practically: when you enter a film, we will try to spread it in the network. The network will also make it easier to apply for funding for international workshops and advanced training. We are planning on awarding an international prize for young film, designed to support outstanding talents.
And, very importantly: we want to enrich European film culture by supporting especially authentic films, unusual and daring, which are in contrast to the mainstream in cinema and on TV.
