About

Our goal within Cinemocracy is to use film in various ways to support European values such as inclusion, democracy, and respect. We are a partnership of five European film festivals jointly developing engaging film education activities - and you can take part in them too!

  • Our Events

    We run film education programmes for both youth and educators. Most of them are on-site but we host online events as well. Check out our programmes in Prague, Belgrade, Vilnius, Bratislava and Budapest!
