Johanna Koljonen’s report on the NoJSe Think Tank
What is the status of film and media for children and youth in the Nordics? How does the streamers and the crisis in funding influence the children's film industry? What are the new strategies toward authentic and diverse storytelling for a young generation with endless possibilities to consume media content? How can we help children's films to be understood, reviewed, and discussed as examples of cinematic art within their genres?
Each year film professionals from six Nordic countries and regions meet in Copenhagen to discuss and share their thoughts, findings and experiences at The Pan Nordic Industry Think Tank on Children’s Media organized by the NoJSe network and funded by Media – Creative Europe.
Here you can dive into the main findings presented in an annual report written and edited by media analyst Johanna Koljonen.
The report is published by the NoJSe network which consists of five film festivals for children and youth from the Nordic European region:
BUFF in Sweden, BFF in Norway, BUSTER in Denmark, Oulu in Finland, and RIFF in Iceland.
The objectives of NoJSe are:
- To disseminate Nordic short and feature films for young audiences via streaming, festival screenings, and film literacy initiatives.
- To promote debate within the Nordic film industry on the status and future of children’s media at designated NoJSe industry events.
- To facilitate knowledge sharing between the network festivals and the Nordic film industry for children and youth.
The selected Nordic shorts and Features can be streamed and viewed in 8 different languages by teachers and students in all of the Nordic Countries at Nordeniskolen.org.
