Are you a principal, teacher, school psychologist or guidance counsellor at a lower secondary school or high school? Are you curious about what short films selected by the Young Film Jury you can work with in your class? A screening of selected films from the Young and Short 2024 film series is just for you.
An animated fable about energetic greed, a social drama about the search for identity, an exciting Nordic detective story and a cute ecological cartoon about Edgar and his cow. How to behave when you find out a shocking news on a first date? What dangers await young women today? How to survive in an extremely competitive environment without losing one's face? And how to survive a physical assault and emerge as a winner? These are topics crucial for the young generation. A special screening of selected films from the Young and Short 2024 film programmes will provide an inspiring insight into the world of short film cinematography through the eyes of young people.
The event is co-organised by the Audiovisual HUB of Kino Kavalírka.
ABOUT YOUNG AND SHORT 2024
Young and Short 2024 is a distributive film series that characterises its generation. This spring, young jurors between the ages of 12-14 and 15-19 selected the ten best short films from contemporary European short cinematography for their peers. The selected films have been turned into two film programmes, which offer a diverse excursion into different film genres and creative approaches and reflect themes that are important and actual for the young generation. The films, accompanied by worksheets, can be used by teachers in the classroom to enrich the educational process in a unique way. Young and Short develops young people's critical and aesthetic thinking in an unconventional and entertaining way and gives them the opportunity to inspire each other with their views and attitudes.
