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 entstand vor 9 Jahren, um wunderbare unabhängige Dokumentarfilme aus der ganzen Welt an das russische Publikum zu bringen und eine Diskussionsplattform für Autoren, Experten und Zuschauer zu bieten.
Die Prinzipien von DoKer sind:
- Wenn wir „Dokumentarfilm“ sagen, legen wir den Schwerpunkt auf „Film“.
- Es gibt unzählige Möglichkeiten, einen Dokumentarfilm zu machen, aber wir glauben, dass er dramatisch und interessant sein muss.
- Bild und Ton sind für Dokumente genauso wichtig wie für Spielfilme. Die Filmsprache ist universell und wir verwenden sie, um unsere Geschichten zu erzählen.
2009 geboren, um den künstlerischen Ausdruck, den Film und die kulturelle Identität der Region hervorzuheben und zu fördern. Förderung der Beständigkeit der Kulturen und Stärkung der Kulturpolitik der Stadt als Instrument zur Beteiligung von Bürgern und Gemeinschaften; damit Unterstützung der Entwicklung, Ausstellung und Verbreitung von Film und bildender Kunst in den Städten Guadalajara de Buga und Valle del Cauca; Vorschlag eines Dialogs zwischen den verschiedenen Ausdrucksformen der Kunst von heute und ihren Beteiligungsmechanismen vor allem in der jungen Bevölkerung. Dieses Festival möchte auf partizipative Weise Räume für Diskussionen und künstlerisches und audiovisuelles Schaffen schaffen.
Das Festival war die erste Veranstaltung dieser Art in diesem Bereich, die in Guadalajara de Buga und Valle del Cauca ausgestellt, geschult, Kapazitäten aufgebaut und kollektiv zum Thema Film und bildende Kunst organisiert hat.
Chulpicine begann seine Arbeit 2002 mit dem allerersten Itinerant Children & Youth Film Festival in Quito. Der herzliche Empfang, den das Projekt erhielt, ermöglichte es, das Festival in den Monaten Juli bis September zu einer jährlichen Veranstaltung zu machen, die auch Sektoren mit wenigen kulturellen Aktivitäten kostenlos eine lehrreiche und unterhaltsame Veranstaltung bietet.
Dank der positiven Resonanz wurde Chulpicine im Juni 2004 zu einer gemeinnützigen Kultur- und Bildungsstiftung. Nach mehr als 10 Jahren Erfahrung hat Chulpicine einen stabilen Vorschlag und eine stabile Arbeitsmethodik entwickelt, die sich auf nationaler Ebene verbreitet haben. Das Festival hat die Schaffung von Trainern, Kulturmanagern, die in verschiedenen Gemeinschaften arbeiten, und einer großen Gruppe von Followern gefördert.
Chulpicine hat eine Reihe von Aktivitäten und Workshops für Institutionen, Gemeinschaftsorganisationen oder Öffentlichkeitsarbeit konzipiert, um in verschiedenen Bereichen im Zusammenhang mit Kino, audiovisuellem Fernsehen, Kommunikation und Internet, die als soziale Interventionsinstrumente genutzt werden, aus- und weiterzubilden. Diese Aktivitäten und Workshops waren der Beginn der Bildung von Lerngemeinschaften, bei denen die Fähigkeiten junger Menschen genutzt wurden, sowie der Aufbau eines aktiven und engagierten Netzwerks von sozialen Vermittlern durch Film- und audiovisuelle Arbeit.
Die Stiftung führt die folgenden Programmlinien durch: Ausbildung, Intervention, Aneignung öffentlicher Räume, Verbreitung und Produktion. Diese Art der Arbeit ist eine Alternative zur Förderung von Gemeinschaftsnetzwerken zur Entwicklung von Kommunikationsfähigkeiten, Analyse und Reflexion bei den verschiedenen Akteuren der Gemeinschaft und damit zur Stärkung ihrer organisatorischen Fähigkeiten und ihrer Fähigkeiten zur Selbstentwicklung.
Die Stiftung verfügt über ein multidisziplinäres Team, das derzeit an den Projekten arbeitet. Diese Personen sind für verschiedene Bereiche verantwortlich: Es gibt einen Psychologen, einen Produzenten, einen Programmierer, einen Kommunikator und einen Buchhalter.
Darüber hinaus werden jedes Jahr etwa 12 Personen eingestellt, um bei der Durchführung von Aktivitäten zu helfen. Diese Gruppe besteht aus Personen, die in der Vergangenheit am Festival gearbeitet haben, und einigen neuen jungen Leuten, die der Gruppe beitreten möchten. Außerdem werden wir jedes Jahr von Freiwilligen verschiedener Organisationen unterstützt.
