BACK TO THE CINEMAS!

EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVALS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE POST PANDEMIC YEAR 2022

The years 2020 and 2021, due to the pandemic, were unusual for the festivals. Many of them were forced to move, in whole or in part, to the Internet. Ale Kino! was one of them. Partly, our previous organizational skills and experience turned out to be insufficient, we had to learn many things from scratch.

In 2022, the risk of Covid-19 decreased so much that we largely returned to pre-pandemic normality. Which for many of us meant a long-awaited return to cinemas. But was everything as it used to be?

We propose another meeting summarizing the festival year in order to answer the important questions posed below:

* Was this year everything as before the pandemic? Did the audience return to the festival cinemas?

* How did the experiences of the time of pandemic affect the organization of your festival in 2022?

* Whether your festival in 2022 was held only in cinemas or was it hybrid? If the latter, why did you choose to go online as well?

In 2020 and 2021 Ale Kino! organized two online sessions in the same formula, summarizing the given year – “Yes, we made it! The Autumn of European Festivals for Children & Youth in Pandemic” in 2020 and „Was It Business As Usual? European Film Festivals For Children And Youth In The Second Pandemic Year” in 2021.

The session BACK TO THE CINEMAS! EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVALS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE POST PANDEMIC YEAR 2022 will be organised by 40. International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino! under the auspices of European Children’s Film Association ECFA. The meeting will be arranged on Zoom platform, December 1st, 19.00 – 21.00 ( date and time to be confirmed), and it will run in English.

Invitation-only event.
