YOUNG CURATORS

Young Curators, realized with kids and young adults of different age groups, is the heart of our film education alongside the Youth Jury. The aim of the project, which runs for several weeks in spring, is to actively promote skills in dealing with the medium of film, but also to whet the appetite for cinema as early as possible.

Within the framework of the Young Curators, educators from sixpackfilm, VIENNA SHORTS and the Austrian Film Museum work together with a group of students, watch (non-narrative) short films together in the cinema and discuss them. The aim of the project is for the students to curate their own short film program from what they have seen, which will then be presented to the public as part of our festival. The students design this morning themselves, write a program text, moderate the event, create a trailer (from hand-painted film strips) and do Q&As with the filmmakers.

The project will take place for the tenth time in 2024 - this time with class 7B of the Gymnasiums Haizingergasse in Vienna.
