When: TH, Oct. 10 | 4 p.m.
Where: DFF Cinema 

Registration: lucas-welcome@dff.film
Keyword: “Panel Children’s Films”

The panel dis­cus­sion at LUCAS marks the start of a series of events orga­ni­zed by the Akademie für Kindermedien, which deals with the ques­ti­on of which images of child­hood are con­vey­ed in children’s media and which of them child­ren actual­ly need. Against the back­ground of the enorm­ous shorta­ge of live-action films for child­ren aged six to eight, the dis­cus­sion will focus on how to find out which images of child­hood child­ren need at this age and what chal­lenges the pro­duc­tion of such films ent­ails. Last but not least, it will be dis­cus­sed how varia­ble the con­cept of child­hood can be inter­pre­ted and how hel­pful an inter­na­tio­nal per­spec­ti­ve is for reflec­ting on this construction.

Invited are:
Franco García Becerra (film­ma­ker from Peru, direc­tor of the com­pe­ti­ti­on film THROUGH ROCKS AND CLOUDS), Patricia Vasapollo (Hessischer Rundfunk, Frankfurt), Beate Völcker (dra­ma­tist, aut­hor, film edu­ca­tor), N.N. (pedago­gi­cal expert)

Presenter:
Margret Albers (Förderverein Deutscher Kinderfilm e.V., mem­ber of the Akademie für Kindermedien)

The dis­cus­sion will be held in German.
