Rising Cinema: a New Generation of European Film Ambassadors

The project aims to create a new model of film education, in which young people aged 15-20 get to know European cinema more closely, learning to watch and appreciate it, by taking over knowledge from specialists. In a special program, they become ambassadors of European cinema in each of the three cities. Together, they create a podcast and a blog, with the help of which they share their knowledge and insights with the general public. The project is implemented by the Kaunas Cinema Center "Romuva" together with partners Cinema Insuflavel (Porto, Portugal) and Ceniclube de Tavira (Faro, Portugal).
