From a modest film festival for children held in the autumn school holidays, Cinekid has now grown into a substantial organisation that throughout the year develops activities for children in the areas of film, television and the new media. Alongside the annual Cinekid Festival, Cinekid has developed activities that are in harmony with a generally acknowledged demand in the field for the growth of knowledge, the transfer of expertise, the development of product and the stimulation of education.
The Cinekid Foundation’s goals are:
-to stimulate the quality of visual culture for children
-to stimulate the active and creative participation of children in the media with a view to strengthening their position in relation to the media, in part through the creation of ‘taste’ and a critical attitude.
