„Shooting Europe!” The
European Short Film Festival
„Shooting Europe!”
The European Short Film Festival organised by the European Students’ Forum –
AEGEE will take place between 1st and 5th of May 2005 in Karlsuhe (Germany). The
festival is to be a platform for young amateur and professional moviemakers to
show their work to the public and to create a new perspective on European
issues.
The
key motivation for organising the festival was the wish for a novel approach of
not only promoting the idea of an integrated Europe among young people but also
involving them in a process of open and active discussion. Since movies are a
very influential instrument of communication, preparing them in advance and
making use of them should be an attractive way of dealing with the issues of
human rights, intercultural dialogue and contributions of AEGEE to the European
integration. Therefore, this event combines art and creativity with thematic
work on common social issues and cultural diversity.
The programme will not only consist of screening movies but also of
discussions with authors and invited guests – professionaly connected with the
cinema industry. Each day will be devoted to the separate
category:
1) ‘Where Do My
Rights End?’ – what are your reflections on the
respect for human rights today?
2) ‘Cultural Differences in Dialogue’ – how
do you see everyday encounters of different cultures?
3) ‘AEGEE20’ –
what are AEGEE’s contributions to European integration?
Participants and movie makers as well as invited guests will
originate from various European countries which means they will represent
different cultural backgrounds, different attitudes. This kind of confrontation
will allow everyone to see problems, issues showed and discussed in a different
light.
Young creative people amateurly or
professionally shooting movies can send their 2-30
minutes works till the 5th of April. This is also the deadline
for the applications of participants.
