International film festival: ZOOM.14

INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
ZOOM.14
 

International film festival for children and youth ZOOM.14 will take place in Pionirski dom - Centre for youth culture (Ljubljana, Slovenia).

The festival is free of charge and intended for all children from primary and secondary schools who devote their free time to educating themselves in the film arts or are involved in film clubs.

At the festival you can:
- participate by submitting your films that will be inspected by a special committee which will choose the best film in different categories
- take part in free morning film workshops led by renowned experts and
- watch films from your peers.

The festival is meant to encourage, educate and provide an insight to youngsters into the process of creating a film. The young communicate their problems, fears, wishes and desires to us and the world precisely through the means of film language. This festival is also an opportunity for mentors to look into and compare with other schools and production companies.
