Description
Description | In 2026 the 38th edition of the Youth Film Festival Antwerp in Belgium will take place. The festival is aimed at young audiences, in school and leisure time, from 1,5 years old up until 18. The festival presents films, workshops, games, special events and an industry program mostly offline with small online side events. In this way we enhance the media literacy of our young audiences. The festival promotes audiovisual creations by screening above all European productions, with the presentation of a European competition and through national and international communication (the catalogue, online platforms, newsletters and international networks) and a lot of collaborations. Youth Film Festival Antwerp will welcome more than 30.000 visitors who enjoy watching European films and experience audiovisual activities. New visitors will be attracted and the frequency of the regular audience augmented. School screenings will be organised, the hospital project reaches children who are not physically able to attend the festival and we have VOD services. Next to audience development, professional activities are organised together with different partners, with a focus on youth film and new media evolutions. During the festival guests are invited and film professionals get accreditations. The support of MEDIA makes it possible to expand and elevate our festival. The festival is a project of JEF and it is crucial as it’s the biggest public activity by which new audiences are reached, where experiments can happen and direct interaction between audience and professionals are accomplished. The festival is considered the experimentation hub and innovator for JEF. Year round, JEF is active in distributing and promoting youth film, of which mostly European productions (film department), and offers a wide range of film educational activities (more than film department: workshops, installations, study materials, education for teachers and several film education projects). |
