Ale Kino! Festival started back in the 1960s as a nationals event. In mid 1990s it was completely reorganized and became a first-class large-scale European event, expected to attract the audience of around of 25000 this year. In 2010 the Festival embarked on a tour around Poland and Ale Kino! on Tour is now available in little villages, whose young inhabitants seldom have the opportunity to encounter quality international film productions. we believe that, with such a big and still growing audience, range and renown, our festival has a chance of improving media literacy throughout Poland. Ale Kino! enables young cinemagoers to see interesting, diverse, which are not normally available in Polish cinemas or TV channels. The presented movies fall outside stereotypes and offer the view of the world from the perspective of different cultures and artistic conventions. Ale Kino! is complex yet consistent system promoting quality young audience films and supporting media literacy not only among children and teenagers, among their parents and teachers, but also internationally among film professionals, critics, producers, distributors, TV and fellow films programmers. Thanks to a number of accompanying events such as the teachers and filmmakers'forum, Industry Pro, study visits, special packages for film distributors and young filmmakers ect., Ale Kino! constitutes a meeting with place and discussion platform devoted to young audience cinema. On the other hand initiatives such a Q&A meetings with film directors and young actors, bus trips to bring children form remote villages to the festival, screenings for disable or otherwise excluded children or film-making workshop are meant to enable as many young festivalgoers as possible to see, touch and appreciate the richness of the film world, through that - to discover the richness of the world around us.
