European Children Film Festivals Network

ended

The European Children’s Film Festival Network brings together the largest, oldest, and most fully developed children’s film festivals in Europe. Its Members share a focus on qualitative children’s media and an idealistic desire to broaden the horizons of their youth audience. All have an international perspective and a holistic approach to their program; offering a wide-ranging year-round program that covers the entire chain of the children’s media industry. The ECFFN wants to address modern challenges. The way audiences locate and consume media is rapidly changing. With this project, the seven participant Festivals intend to coordinate their activities in order to 1) research and develop, to apply and verify good practices regarding the participation of children and youth to the planning of festival activities, 2) create a systematic toolset for children and youth audiences in Europe and their teachers to disseminate European shorts films in schools and 3) disseminate further the results of both aspects of the program to other interested parties around the EU.
