The Lahore International Children’s Film Festival is a project of The Little Art. It's an an annual event to showcase the best of local and international films made by, for or about children and young people. The Festival was started in 2008, and has completed its 9 seasons successfully and has reached to nearly 451,550 audiences.
Aiming at education as well as entertainment, the film festival is dedicated to promote the culture of film watching, media literacy and alternative learning among children and young people. Each year, the festival brings some of the best international films to Pakistan to promote, peace, creativity, social awareness, world cultures and the arts.
The Festival reaches to nearly 50,000 children and young people each year, from urban to rural areas. The festival defines “children and young people” as its primary beneficiaries, irrespective of their gender, social status, class, education or income level.
The festival has an inclusive approach to involve marginalized and less privileged children as its audience. We collaborate with NGOs and community organizations to show the world's best films to out-of-school and marginalized children across Pakistan.
2018 is the 10th season of the Festival and will take place in Lahore, Pakistan in October 2018.
Attention to all film talents: From 21 November 2017 until 31 January 2018, filmmakers will have the chance to apply for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition 2018. Not only are two main prizes waiting to be won, moreover, ten finalists will receive an invitation to participate in the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy in Vienna!
Between 21 November 2017 and 31 January 2018, filmmakers up to the age of 35 from Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region, Turkey and Austria will have the possibility to submit their short films to the Short Film Competition of the LET’S CEE Film Festival 2018.
However, filmmakers of all ages and from all over the world are welcome as well to send in thematically fitting contributions. Due to the festival’s geographical focus on CEE though, these short films will not be included in the main Short Film Competition, but will very well have the chance to win the Audience Award in the Short Film category and be screened at the festival in the section Short Films | Out of Competition. We furthermore cordially encourage international makers of virtual reality films, 3D productions and avant-garde pieces to apply as we will be offering these genres a stage at our festival as well.
The theme of the Short Film Competition 2018 is TOGETHER OR APART.
Great Britain voted for the Brexit last year and in doing so decided against a EU membership; most recently thousands of Catalan people went to the streets demanding independence from Spain; under the presidency of Donald Trump, the USA is seeking to withdraw from the Paris climate protection agreement and renegotiate various other commercial treaties – these are only three of many examples demonstrating the recent shift of the political mood in numerous countries. A growing migratory pressure, an increasing gap between the rich and poor, as well as justified and unsubstantiated fears – of the consequences of digitalisation, of the loss of jobs and stability and of social change – have discredited globalisation and encouraged a comeback of nationalist and isolationist tendencies, which seemed utterly unfathomable only a few years ago. Even on a national scale, societal cohesion appears to be threatened more and more. How does the growing division of society influence both the community and individuals? Will political agitation, hatred, egotism and greed for profit become the new normal? Well, the situation is critical, but not hopeless, neither on an international nor a national level. There are still representatives of the civil society who make no effort to surrender to the threatening eroding solidarity. Fortunately, there are numerous instances proving how people still advocate for the poor and disadvantaged with great optimism, dedication and empathy – people who rather pay attention to what we have in common instead of what keeps us apart.
The competition’s theme, TOGETHER OR APART, may be manifested in the submitted material in various manners and methods. Interpersonal aspects, such as family and relationship dramas, trials and tribulations, moments of success and happiness or the joint overcoming of challenges can be taken into account just as well as social, political, juridical and/or cultural matters. In other words: everything is possible, as long as it touches on the topic and is done well!
An advisory board chaired by the renowned Austrian-Iranian filmmakers Arash T. Riahi and Arman T. Riahi will choose the best contributions from the submissions for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition. The short films, which will be screened out of competition, will be selected by the Bosnian-Dutch producer Denis Mujović and festival director Magdalena Żelasko.
After the presentation of the participating productions at the festival, an international jury will decide on the winner of the competing short films and, thus, who will be awarded the main prize – 1,500 Euro and a Urania statuette – at the Awards Ceremony in the Urania Cinema on 20 April 2018. The remaining short films presented during the festival will have, without exception, the chance to win the 1,500 Euro Audience Award in the category Short Film.
All filmmakers who will take part in the main Short Film Competition will additionally profit from their participation. At the expense of the festival, one of the involved filmmakers of each short film will be invited as an official guest*) to Vienna in order to present their work. Those persons will, furthermore, have the opportunity to join the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy.
15 remaining free seats for the Talent Academy will be filled by Out-of-Competition filmmakers. The most important items on the one-week Academy agenda include the attendance of LET’S CEE Master Classes and LET’S CEE Industry Days, the collaborative finalisation of a short film about Vienna, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch a film idea to Raindance film festival director Elliot Grove (and win big!) at the Pitching Competition. Of course, all invited filmmakers will enjoy several Get-togethers, where they can get in touch with successful distributors, directors, producers, actors etc., exchange experiences and new ideas and thus strive to new projects and international collaborations. In order to enable as many filmmakers as possible to visit LET’S CEE and present their work to the festival audience, all participants of the section ‘Short Films | Out of Competition’ will receive free festival accreditations and discounts for the official hotel partner on request.
DoKer a été créé il y a 9 ans pour apporter de merveilleux documentaires indépendants du monde entier au public russe et fournir une plate-forme de discussion pour les auteurs, les experts et les spectateurs.
Les principes de DoKer sont les suivants :
- Quand on dit « film documentaire », on met l'accent sur le « film ».
- Il y a d'innombrables façons de faire un documentaire, mais nous pensons qu'il doit être dramatique et intéressant.
- L'image et le son sont aussi importants pour les documents que pour les films de fiction. Le langage du film est universel et nous l'utilisons pour raconter nos histoires.
Né en 2009 afin de mettre en valeur et d'encourager l'expression artistique, le cinéma et l'identité culturelle de la région. Promouvoir la pérennité des cultures et renforcer les politiques culturelles de la ville en tant que mécanisme de participation citoyenne et communautaire ; soutenir ainsi le développement, l'exposition et la diffusion du cinéma et des arts visuels dans les villes de Guadalajara de Buga et Valle del Cauca ; proposer un dialogue entre les différentes expressions artistiques d'aujourd'hui et leurs mécanismes de participation, principalement auprès des jeunes. Ce festival cherche à créer des espaces de discussion, de création artistique et audiovisuelle de manière participative.
Le festival est devenu le premier événement du genre dans ce domaine, pour l'exposition, la formation, le renforcement des capacités et le collectif sur le thème du cinéma et des arts visuels à Guadalajara de Buga et dans le Valle del Cauca.
Chulpicine a commencé ses activités en 2002 avec le tout premier festival itinérant du film pour enfants et jeunes à Quito. L'accueil chaleureux que le projet a reçu a permis au festival de devenir un événement annuel pendant les mois de juillet à septembre, offrant un événement éducatif et divertissant gratuit aux secteurs où les activités culturelles sont peu nombreuses.
Grâce à cette réaction positive, Chulpicine est devenue une fondation culturelle et éducative à but non lucratif en juin 2004. Après plus de 10 ans d'expérience, Chulpicine est parvenue à une proposition stable et à une méthodologie de travail qui se sont répandues au niveau national. Le Festival a encouragé la création de personnel d'entraîneurs, de responsables culturels travaillant dans différentes communautés et d'un large groupe d'adeptes.
Chulpicine a conçu un ensemble d'activités et d'ateliers pour les institutions, les organisations communautaires ou les agents de proximité afin d'éduquer et de former dans différents domaines liés au cinéma, à l'audiovisuel, à la communication et à Internet utilisés comme outils d'intervention sociale. Ces activités et ateliers ont marqué le début de la formation de communautés d'apprentissage en exploitant les capacités des jeunes, ainsi que de la mise en place d'un réseau actif et engagé de facilitateurs sociaux par le biais de films et d'œuvres audiovisuelles.
La Fondation met en œuvre les lignes de programme suivantes : formation ; intervention ; appropriation des espaces publics ; diffusion et production. Cette ligne de travail est une alternative pour favoriser les réseaux communautaires afin de développer les compétences de communication, d'analyse et de réflexion au sein des différents acteurs de la communauté, renforçant ainsi ses compétences organisationnelles et de développement personnel.
La fondation dispose actuellement d'une équipe multidisciplinaire qui travaille sur les projets. Ces personnes sont responsables de différents domaines : il y a un psychologue, un producteur, un programmeur, un communicateur et un comptable.
De plus, chaque année, environ 12 personnes sont embauchées pour aider à la mise en œuvre des activités. Ce groupe est composé de personnes qui ont déjà travaillé dans le cadre du festival et de nouveaux jeunes qui souhaitent rejoindre le groupe. De plus, chaque année, nous avons le soutien de bénévoles de différentes organisations.
