This year, we – Ethnofest in collaboration with Karpos – are presenting you the work of a group of young immigrants, (14 to 29 years old), create eleven short films where they narrate their stories and express their dreams and feelings. These movies are the product of an educational activity where the participants were introduced to the process of the audiovisual production by Karpos, Center For Education And Intercultural Communication, as part of the European project Speak Up-Media For Inclusion.
*Some of the creators will be attending the cinema screening.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
