KorFilmFest
A new exciting initiative in the Korczak Community is an International Film Festival for young people! How wonderful in the spirit of Korczak, equality and respect, young people in Australia, our pacific neighbours and all over the world are invited to participate by submitting a film and/or viewing this International Film Festival too!
The only age limit is you need to be under 20 years old to submit an entry and the film is to be based on this quote from Korczak: “One must not leave the world as it is.”
I think about this quote often and many times have finished my emails with this Korczak quote.
More information about this KorFilmFest, not only in English can be found here: www.korfilmfest.com
To see this In English, click on EN at the top right hand side.
And in the posters below.
The work and life of Janusz Korczak is so well known in so many countries and I imagine many movies submitted may be in different languages if the movie has words. If English is not your first language and the movie you make has words, feel free to use the language with which you are most comfortable.
Deadline for submission: October 20, 2022
Good luck for submitting to those entering this. As well as a Film Festival for and by young people, it has a competition aspect also and there is a prize of 1000 Eur! However the most important feature of this KorFilmFest is that young people from all over the world can submit their films expressing their thoughts about this powerful and important quote from Janusz Korczak and whether or not you submit an entry, young people from many countries will be able to see films made by other young people.
This event is supported by the International and Polish Korczak Association.
All Korczak’s work and ideas are for all young people no matter where you live and whether or not you have access to a movie camera or computer. KorFilmFest is a wonderful initiative!/
