The theme bringing together the films selected for teachers and teenagers at this year's Festival is day to day violence, bullying in schools, marginalisation and the means they may be fought against through empathy, tolerance and communication.
For the third year in a row, one of the screenings will be accompanied by audio description for visually impaired people. A novelty of this year is the inclusion of an animated documentary film,
Tower, and of a documentary poem,
Refugee Blues.
After each screening, a Festival's guest - director, producer or expert in the respective film theme – will debate with the students on human rights and recent history issues,
starting from the documentary viewed.
Registrations for teachers with classes and organised groups will be made by e-mail at scoala@oneworld.ro, or by phone: 0728 069 428, until 9 March 2017. Pupils coming by themselves or with friends have to bring only their grades' book.
Admission will be free of charge.
The screenings are set up in partnership with the School Inspectorate of Bucharest Municipality.
