Docs4Teens 2023

‘Docs4Teens – Building Bridges’ was created In 2021, when  four European festivals, Krakow Film Festival (Poland), Festival dei Popoli (Italy), FIPADOC (France) and Docudays UA (Ukraine), joined forces to create a new festival network with the common goal to promote and help circulate European documentary films to young audiences. The network’ strong belief is that documentary cinema is an irreplaceable and unique way to learn about our world. For its third year, and now joined by a 5th festival, Porto/Post/Doc. The network will present a showcase of seven documentaries for teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18, screened within the festivals in 2023/2024. The selection proposes a reflection on themes that, in their actuality, force young people to reflect on their actions and their political importance in matters like war, climatic changes and equality; above all, that ignite in them the urge to manifest and be active within their communities.
