YAAAS! is the youth program of the CROSSING EUROPE Film Festival in Linz that takes place every year in the end of April in
Linz (AT). To call out YAAAS! means to euphorically say “yes!” - “yes!” to a program that does not only aim to present finished
content, but rather to produce VIDEOS in internationally mixed teams that are then presented and discussed within a FILM PROGRAM
that is selected by people of the same age, to try out new techniques in a WORKSHOP RALLY or find out about them in FACE TO
FACE talks with professionals in small groups.
With the YAAAS! Youth program, CROSSING EUROPE 2019 intends to create a holistic offer for film education, the acquisition
of media competence and DIY-video-production skills. YAAAS! is aimed at people between the ages 15 and 20, who thereby get
the chance to engage with (international) media professionals, learn new skills in the area of film, watch and discuss films,
as well as present their own work in the framework of a professional film festival. YAAAS! invites you to take a whiff of
the festival air together with other youths.
