European Children's Film Catalogue & Related Film Literacy Activities
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Nov 1, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main objective of the project is to start a catalogue of European films for children, with accompanying educational materials, and to facilitate educational distribution to reach as many pre-schools, schools and young audiences with these films and learning materials, with as many European partners and in as many European countries as possible. To be able to achieve this, the project needs to run for a minimum of two to three years, as the roll-out of this project, especially to schools, will take more time than one project year. Contacts with the schools need to be established for some, and extended for other partners, awareness of the importance of film literacy has to be raised, and the implementation and roll-out of film literacy programs in the school-year planning and cinema programming needs a minimum of two to three years. Six partners across Europe (Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Sweden) have committed to put their children’s film knowledge, film literacy expertise, film industry connections, enthusiasm, and finances into this project. In return, the project will facilitate partnerships and co-operation among European organisations from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds, that have rarely worked together before; it will enable the transfer of knowledge and working practices; and nurture a European-wide exchange of films, ideas, learning materials, and, importantly, best practice in teaching film literacy. In Year 1, the most important steps are to make sure that all the partners agree on the film selection, to set a procedure for film selection, to then build a catalogue with a minimum of seven film titles – whs.ich will amount to at least 26 different language versions of these films (with all the acquisition, print and film materials, dubbing and subtitling implications). Also, to write, translate, and expand the learning materials, to make them accessible, and to then start with some educational pilot screenings.
