7 online film workshops for children and youth for the upcoming holidays.

Send your own, your friend’s, or your neighbor’s child to this crazy hybrid (online with special live film missions) film event.

Dates: April 6-10, 2021. 10am-2pm (with short breaks)

Age group: 9-16 years old (details for each workshop below!)

When we say ‘film,’ we mean media literacy, filmmaking, IT, and information literacy through a contemporary, interactive, heuristic, and fun methodological approach that has been professionally tested for years by Shadow Casters – an organization celebrating 20 years of public, creative, production, and activist work this year.

So, we’ve prepared a variety of enriching film workshops in an online format for this upcoming Easter holiday, with plenty of hands-on work with experienced mentors, in small groups, and with new friends from all over Croatia!
