YOUNG 15-18 Years

This programme consists of some of the best films about and for a younger audience aged 15–18 years. The films have in common that they bring up important and sometimes tough subjects that many young people deal with in their everyday life. The programme works as well for a grown-up audience as it does for the younger audience. Entrance free of charge for school classes!
