MOVING CINEMA. Methodologies, Strategies and Tools for Children and Young People to Appreciate European Films and Become an Active Audience
Start date: Sep 5, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Moving Cinema started in 2014-2015 with the purpose of improving film literacy at a national and a European dimension, among young people between 11-19. In the third edition it gathers 6 partners from 5 countries (Germany, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, UK). The main objective is to create or strengthen the bond of youth with European cinema through strategies that build present and future habits. We focus on art films, emphasizing the singularities that make European auteur cinema moving for youth. The project is structured in 3 levels: 1) development of pilot actions to increase the interest in European films and to foster youth to acquire habits as autonomous spectators; 2) to enable their access to cinema exhibition spaces; 3) transferability of methodologies and tools proven to be efficient in the pilot actions, in order to make them useful for organisations and teachers across Europe. Moving Cinema develops 5 strands of work: 1) linking film-viewing and filmmaking through mobile devices; 2) stimulating interest and knowledge of cinema through VoD platforms; 3) screenings and dialogues with filmmakers in festivals and cinemas (in specific sessions during school hours and fostering the access of youth to general screenings); 4) film programming by young people; 5) Inside Cinema: materials and resources to discover the creation processes of films. Through these actions, we create a wide network of festivals, cinemas and organisations generating opportunities for audience development. Knowledge dissemination and transference is one of the pillars of Moving Cinema. For this reason, the website is a core element of the project. In the 3rd edition, the web will be complemented with the digital publication Moving Cinema. Methodologies, Strategies and Tools for Young People to Become Active Spectators, that will be distributed to institutions and organizations across Europe. In addition, direct trainings, play an important role to accomplish our dissemination objective.
