BUSTER is Denmark’s only international film festival for children and youth. The festival programme aims to bring a selection of the best films from around the world to the Danish young audience. We focus on high quality films and cover all genres from shorts to documentaries and feature films, which have the right level of artistic, ethical and audiovisual qualities to be selected for our programme. It is very important for us to present films to our young audience, their teachers and families, that are pushing boundaries, dealing with current and serious topics, give insight to other cultures, deal with subjects suitable for educational purposes, or have a high entertainment quality. As has been the case the previous years, BUSTER’s programme will concentrate mainly on films from Europe. The official film programme counts four main sections that include competitions: Feature films for children, feature films for youth, short films and documentaries. We have a line of sidebars with topics changing every year and create a wide range of workshops customised for school children and teachers, which focus on film, new media and themes inspired by films. In our event section we cooperate with a wide range of alternative venues for instance the contemporary art museum ARKEN, the National Museum, The Naval Museum, and the Police Museum. The workshop and event programmes takes place at more than 20 different locations during the festival. Teaching material is offered free of charge for a number of films and workshops. One of BUSTER’s main goals is to cater to the Danish school system by an affordable low ticket price of only 15 dkk/2 euros per ticket. BUSTER has different kinds of satellite programmes that run part of or around the year: BUSTER on Tour (cinema screenings), BUSTER’s Media Academy; a workshop programme in 12 different municipalities and OREGON Film Academy and Film Competition; workshops and film competitions in all five regions of Denmark.
