We are expecting over 100 children and adolescents from Latvia and around the world to participate in the festival. Attendees will be trained by well-known cinema professionals and masters of personal growth. There will be discussions about cinematography masterpieces and their societal impact, and master-classes to guide them in the creation of their own educational films.
The purpose of our festival is to support young filmmakers and to inspire them to
shoot positive and goodhearted films by introducing and sharing filmmaking experiences with them, and talking about the possibilities of modern technology. Many of them dream to work with such technology, and therefore one of the objectives of the festival is to accomplish these children's dreams.
It is a charity festival! All participants are welcomed by the organizers free of charge! Our festival is operates on a volunteer basis, but we believe that there are people and companies in the world who are ready to share the idea of the revival of quality cinema by and for children.
