No need for a long read? The landscape of children’s and young people’s film as viewed by film critics

Panel Discussion
Mon, 17th of February – 5.00 p.m. Hackesche Höfe Kino, Rosenthaler Str. 40-41, 10178 Berlin

What would it take to sensitize both established media and more modern platforms like podcasts, blogs, and fan forums to children’s and young people’s films? Is it the films themselves that need to change—or is it our attitude towards them?

This panel discussion will be held at the invitation of the European Children’s Film Association (ECFA), the German Film Critics Association (VdFk), and Berlin Critics’ Week. Film critics and writers from diverse media formats will discuss their critical perspectives on the varied production of children’s and young people’s films.

Guests: Yun-hua Chen, Sebastian Markt, Savina Petkova, Axel Timo Purr
Welcoming words: Gudrun Sommer, Pantelis Panteloglou
