The Filmreakter Youth Ateliers project offered young people aged 16 to 20 from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds a unique opportunity to dive into the world of cinema by co-creating a short film. Through a pedagogical and immersive approach, the program guided participants through every stage of the filmmaking process—from scriptwriting to final editing. Supported by industry professionals, the young participants developed their skills while benefiting from a free and creative space for self-expression. The result was the short film “De nos jours”, which was publicly presented at the Rotondes on May 27, 2025.
Filmreakter embraces an approach in which young people are fully involved in the creative process, applying three core principles: free experimentation, collaborative work, and caring guidance. In a context where access to film professions is often limited to certain social groups, Filmreakter Youth Ateliers seeks to reduce these inequalities and foster greater diversity in the audiovisual landscape.
