The Next Generation of Programmers: Short Film Programme 1

Young film lovers step behind the scenes of festival programming.

At Malmö latinskola, a class of film students takes on the role of festival programmers. Drawing from this year’s film submissions, the class have curated their own short film programmes and welcome all fellow students and accredited guests to screenings on the festival’s opening day.

This project aims at giving young people first-hand experience of festival programming while celebrating the stories that engage and inspire their generation.

In collaboration with Malmö latinskola and Malmö Skolbio.
