Our main goal is to promote, develop and innovate cinema, as we stand for the youth community but also taking the society as a whole into consideration.
We aim to:
- initiate activities regarding the development and innovation of cinema, such as festivals, exhibitions and networking events
- initiate educational programs that will enable young filmmakers to access industry information in conventional and nonconventional ways
- engage in audio-visual projects, such as short films and music videos, in order to raise our expertise level and make our members top professional in the field
Networking event
In 2012, we've managed to organize our first networking event, successfully gathering over 100 people who were either passionate about filmmaking or industry professionals. The result was a significant growth in popularity and awareness of our organization.
Mobile films festival
Technology is evolving faster than ever before and this clearly facilitates the making of audiovisual projects for young filmmakers who cannot yet reach resources through a traditional financing route. To encourage the use of new technologies creatively, we're working on developing a film festival for short films shot entirely on mobile phones.
Master Classes
Education is a key element for a filmmaker. Currently, we've identified a gap within our country's film industry. We lack the expertise of film marketing, or, in other words, we don't have the skills needed to promote and sell our films. We plan to bring international film marketing and distribution professionals in Romania, to raise the know-how of our own industry professionals.
By initiating cinema related projects we’re developing ways to improve intercultural communication. As history shows us, every community needs it’s storytellers to capture the essence of the period and to promote cultural elements through the visual medium. Cinema can break barriers.
The AFL Network gives us the opportunity to share our beliefs and work together towards common goals and to access resources in order to materialize our vision of a better world in which cinema plays an important role. In exchange for all the opportunities, we offer support to the Network within the boundaries of our expertise of the audiovisual environment.
