Covid-19-Update: In March 2020 the 17th edition of Crossing Europe Film Festival Linz had to be canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For documentation purposes the program planned for 2020 is published HERE. With "Crossing Europe 2020 - EXTRACTS", Crossing Europe is presenting a multi-part alternative program from April to December 2020 with an online program and a series of physical events in the cinema.
The heart of the youth program is the format that offers the possibility to create your very own contributions to a specific predetermined topic in groups of six to eight youths.
What is particularly important to us is that groups are all mixed: according to age and gender, but also in respect to the previous experience with the medium video. The age range of the participants is between 15 and 20. The topic will combine two aspects: on the one hand, the motto of the festival that aims to connect Europe and break down boundaries, but also a topic that has a special significance for young people.
