On March 10th "Go & See" - "Close up" Discussion Club will present Art Group Come On Film industry and young people in Europe. NisiMasa.

Art Group Come-On is a non-for-profit association and represents NisiMasa in Bulgaria.
Their presentation will include introduction of the European Youth Organization NisiMasa thanks to which annual competitions for short movie script is being held in 14 European countries. The organization was formed in 2001 by a couple of cinema enthusiasts and its activities include organization of projects related to cinema, cultural integration, workshops for scrip writing and directing, non-commercial screenings and films distribution in Europe. The project First Shot: Europe organized by Art Group Come-On and funded by the Youth Program will be presented.
Two films based on scripts that have won the competition will be presented - "On a train" 11 min., director Barnabas Toth, Hungary /France and "Rehearsals" 19 min., director Galina Georgieva, Bulgaria - as well as the documentary on folk dances of the countries participating in the project First Shot: Europe (around 20 min., Bulgaria/France/Finland/Italy).
The debate will be focused on the opportunities for young people who are interested in cinema. Do the official schools give enough? What are the similarities and differences between the different schools in Europe? Where are we and is there room for the Bulgarian cinema? Is there such thing as Bulgarian cinema?
Guest of the Art Group Come-On from France, Finland and Italy will participate in the debate and tell about the situation of the young cinema enthusiasts in their countries, about the difficult and easy things in their independent cinema and will talk about the European identity as a totality of cultures. How close or far are we from each other? Come to share your own view.

Discussion place and time: "The Granary" (Hambara), Thursday, March 10, 6.30 p.m.
