EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

EducaTIFF

EducaTIFF premiered in 2009 with the aim to light the passion of young and very young people for the great magic machinery called cinema, and to influence the first important steps towards a consistent school curriculum for media literacy in Romania. Nowadays, most people live under constant and often violent media exposure, and the younger in age, the more vulnerable they are to its influence. Films for young and very young people target an audience with enormous emotional and cultural needs..

Films

This year's selection of EducaTIFF films includes 12 titles. All EducaTIFF screenings are followed by discussions, including some with special guests, to encourage curiosity and critical thinking among young viewers.
