We see the root of a democratic platform of self-expression and empowerment, films made by young film artists about young people, about the explosive encounters between old and new worlds. Films often produced with available means and great passion in the basements of film schools and workshops all over the world.
This is Youth Cinema, something to look forward to.
Back yesterday from Tromsoe, Norway – in the arctic circle, where the NUFF Global film festival was in town.
During 2006-07, this event sponsored 16 short film projects by Kids (aka Youth Cinema), related to Climate Change. There was fact and fiction, docs and animation.
The main non-profit sponsor was the Minor Foundation for Major Challenges;
www.nuffglobal.net has the 5 minute winning film online, by Lucie Stamfestova, from Prague.
This project will continue (as will climate changes).
