Screened in original version with subtitles in theaters and on television, auteur cinema usually targets a grown-up public and/or moviegoers. Conceived to arouse the interest of young viewers for such films, the short-film collection named «The Short Lessons in Cinema» deals in a simple and vivid manner with specific topics involved in movie-making such as film genres, editing or cutting. Made by accomplished European filmmakers, these short films form concise cinema essays blending an author's artistic approach with a playful discovery of cinema. Bound to develop, the collection already consists of three films: «A Short Lesson in Cinema: The Documentary», by Jean-Stephane Bron, «Kacey Mottet Klein, Birth of an Actor», by Ursula Meier and «Heidi at the Foley Artist» by Christian Frei. Two other shorts are in production phase, respectively made by Frédéric Mermoud and Mathieu Amalric. The collection is topped off with an educational website in French, explaining the subjects raised in each of the short films. To ensure the access and understanding of «The Short Lessons in Cinema» to the greatest number of young viewers in theaters, schools, young public selections in festivals or on the Internet, dubbed versions in French, German, Spanish and English must be produced for the five first short films of the collection. This action also intends to finance the translation of Polish and Georgian subtitles, as well as that of online linked content. In order to promote both auteur cinema and European cultural heritage, La Lanterne Magique France (FR), PAI - Promotora de Accion Infantil (ES), Warsztaty Kultury w Lublinie (PL), Magic Lantern Rustavi (GE), Centre for the Moving Image (UK) and KurzFilmAgentur Hamburg (DE) will ensure the dissemination of the project through their own communication channels.
