The international Young Film Fest in Prague is offering young audiences opportunities to take a look into the world of cinema, to get creative and to express their own views. Each participant is a juror, selecting his favourite European title that didn’t get a Czech cinema release.

On 6th March Christel Strobel received the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal Cross of Honour) for her “outstanding commitment for quality films for children in Germany”.
Were you there on Saturday February 22nd? Here’s some pictures of the ECFA AGM and the ECFA Award Celebration evening.
The ECFA Award for Best European Children’s Film 2020 has been won by BINTI by director Frederike Migom (Belgium). This film tells the story of a young girl who claims her right to live a normal life and dream her own dreams, even if she doesn’t have the legal documents to prove that she really exists. Other ECFA Awards went to BLOEISTRAAT 11 (Best Short) and HOW BIG IS THE GALAXY? (Best Documentary).
Dutch filmmaker and 360° inspiring documentary personality Mirjam Marks found a new project to get to grips with. Inspired by the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child’s 30th anniversary, she focuses her work on an issue affecting children worldwide: climate change.
ECFA is looking forward to welcoming all its members at the Annual General Meeting in Berlin on 22nd February.
