A-FilmTeens Screenings For School Go International
A-FilmTeens Screenings For Schools Go International: Czech Youth Films Shine in Slovenia!
A-FilmTeens has always been about connecting young filmmakers with their peers and broader audiences, and this year, we’re thrilled to announce a major milestone! While we regularly organize screenings for schools across Czechia, our films have now ventured beyond borders, reaching new audiences in Slovenia.
In collaboration with the ENIMATION festival (https://www.facebook.com/enimation.eu) and Gymnasium Ptuj in Ptuj near Maribor, we recently showcased 11 incredible films by talented Czech filmmakers. These films, covering a wide range of genres and themes, represent the creativity and vision of young artists who dare to tell their stories.

Connecting Through Film
We believe in the power of film to bridge cultures, foster understanding, and celebrate creativity. Seeing these films appreciated by Slovenian students is a testament to the universality of young voices and the shared emotions they portray.
The importance of these international exchanges cannot be overstated. It’s a chance for young filmmakers to see their work resonate beyond their homeland, and it offers audiences an authentic glimpse into the lives and imaginations of Czech youth.
A Big Thanks to ENIMATION Festival
Our gratitude also extends to the ENIMATION festival, which showcased these films as well as three movies from Ostrava high school in its Take Care category. With an impressive audience of 177 spectators, these films touched hearts and inspired conversations. This collaboration underscores the strength of partnerships between like-minded organizations striving to uplift emerging talent.
