Project summary:

CB region is missing strategic, sustainable and developing cooperation between cultural organizations in the field of film art. Beside the lack of cooperation between cultural organizations and cinemas, which results in missing information about film programs, film events and cinematography from abroad, important problem is lack of creative, networking and innovative activities in film art which would connect a region and its population. Lack of adequate offer of nonformal education in the field of film art in CB region, leaves the target groups the modest opportunities for the development of artistic spirit and skills regardless of their talent and interest. Young people, middle-aged and older fans of film art are lacking the centres for education and fostering the culture of film screening, exchange of opinions and critical observations of the life and its elements from the perspective of film art.
Recognizing these problems, two cultural organizations from neighbouring cities Subotica and Szeged, as managers of two important cinemas and organizers of two international film festivals, prepared a set of interconnected activities which will animate and connect a wide target group, especially young persons and create new cultural events which will result in concrete development of the CB region in the field of film art. Open university Subotica and Event and Media Centre Szeged Non-profit Ltd. plan to established close and continual cooperation based on the three cooperation pillars – film festivals cooperation, establishment of Film clubs and establishment of Film schools in CB region. Through the cooperation of festivals and cinemas from two cities and especially through establishment of Film schools and Film clubs in these cities and other Local communities, target groups will receive opportunity to consume and enjoy in film art as well as to develop their talents through education, practical work, experience exchange and cooperation with colleagues from abroad.
