	Programs


		Many of the films, feature films as well as documentaries and short films that we produce and support give students a look into a specific world culture or portray a person or project that aims to improves cross-cultural relations. We connect charitable projects to our films and thus enable the viewer to get actively involved in improving our world and that of others. We support our projects with a world of knowledge about the cultures portrayed in our films, which makes our films a perfect tool in education. We supply each film with a study guide, compiled of several modules to choose from.

	We bring world cinema films to school classes and campuses. In this phase of our organization’s development, we develop our programs tailor-made for your school. Become part of innovative new global programs for your curriculum.

We highlight world cinema, also sometimes described as ‘foreign film’. We aim to make that term obsolete for you and your students in the hope that as we bring more films of other worlds to schools that the world becomes a more more familiar place for current and future generations. From screenings for the classroom with or without study guides up to full-fledged cross-cultural campus events. Our study projects can include working on charitable projects as part of the curriculum. We also organize film festivals for one or more days for students of all grades. We connect you to teachers around the world and your students can participate in a variety of study projects with other students from around the globe.
