Dive into the remarkable work of KIDS Regio with Anne Schultka as she explores the vital role of children's films in promoting cultural diversity and reaching young people across Europe. This session will highlight key initiatives from the recent KIDS Regio Forum 2024, which brought together experts and policy makers to develop actionable strategies for the future of European children's cinema. Anne will also share behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the latest research project, "Keeping up with Children as an Audience", as well as the bumps on the road to publishing figures on children's film production and distribution in Europe.
