PRESS RELEASE
Today saw the closure of the MEDIA Salles’ event Focus
on Europe – Kidflix Special held in Malmö, Sweden,
for European exhibitors that organize specific activities for younger
people and schools.
Today there were once again plenty of examples as to how offer can be
diversified and how new proposals can be made available to young audiences.
Nunzio Chiericozzi presented the initiatives of the Italian
cinema Falso Movimento of Foggia, winner of the second “Euro
Kids” award. ”Among our goals – sustained Chiericozzi
– is providing training on how to view and interpret films and
on cinema language. In order to carry this out, we work constantly with
teachers, in collaboration with experts. Our program involves all the
schools at Foggia and consists in the screening of films accompanied
by fact cards and booklets for greater comprehension and, furthermore,
through the organization of meetings with authors of Italian cinema
and of training courses for teachers”.
Just as interesting were the experiences of the Cinemes Guiu
of La Seu d’Urgell, Spain. “For us – underlined
Montserrat Guiu March – it is extremely important to develop within
children and adolescents a capacity of critical review of films and
their contents. We facilitate this through reports and group work in
the classes. Our initiatives are aimed both at the primary schools and
secondary schools of 13 small urban centres and are organized in collaboration
with the Linguistics Department and the Scholastic Department of the
Catalan Government”.
Further information and the fact cards on the cinemas that have taken
part in the Focus will be published in the “Euro Kids” section
of the MEDIA Salles’ website (www.mediasalles.it).
