THE OLYMPIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL for Children and Young People is already in its third decade, with actions that render its role in the cultural life of the region one of paramount importance. It has become an international meeting point for young people and creators: schoolkids, students, teachers, and filmmakers from all around the world meet annually in a place which boasts a rich cultural heritage and worldwide influence.
The rapid advance of technology and the swift permeation of information make imagery more and more prominent in modern civilisation, communication and entertainment. These elements impact the form and content of language, while at the same time creating virtual environments. They bring people of different cultures closer together, to compose a future view of today's world.
In the twenty one years that have gone by, the Festival's recreational and educational character has been shaped by its choices: films inspired by concepts like carefreeness, games, or the difficulties of childhood, but also by the belief that children should have an active presence in a cinematic celebration that places them in its focus.
The Festival is once again hosting amateur creations by children and young people, as part of its effort to sharpen their outlook and deepen their relationship with the art of filmmaking. Its parallel programme Camera Zizanio, which aims to showcase creations by children on a national and global scale, constitutes the backbone of the Festival's events, with rich actions taking place in its filmmaking workshops and seminars.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the 22nd Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young people, as well as the events of the 19th European Meeting of Youth Audiovisual Creation - Camera Zizanio. The over 250 films created by children and young people, as well as the 85 films by professional directors from 59 different countries which will compete in this year's contest program, can guarantee the success of this event.
In this broad framework of today's developments and contradictions, the Festival is evolving with a sense of adjustability, a spirit of openness, and with principles imbued with humanitarian values. It attracts Greek and foreign creators, and it cultivates aesthetics, critical thinking, and creativity in its visitors. The Festival's appeal in the educational community and its popularity among young cinema lovers who could quite possibly be tomorrow's creators, as well as its recognition on an international level allow us to be optimistic about the future.
I wish the Festival every success; for the young directors, I hope that the experience of participation will become a starting point for future accomplishments.
Lina Mendoni Minister for Culture and Sports

IN THE TWENTY-TWO YEARS OF ITS RUN, the Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People has been established as an institution in local cultural events and is recognised among leading festivals of its kind in Europe and around the world.
Since ancient times, Olympia and its surrounding area has been associated with the elevation of youthful robustness, virtue and fair play, as well as with the fundamental value of peace. In our time and for the duration of the Festival, Olympia transforms into a workshop for artistic cohabitation, creation and ideas, where dozens of films from all over the world are showcased and competing, discussing issues that concern childhood and youth.
This way, the Greek audience comes into contact with the field of international, qualitative youth cinema, while at the same time Greek productions make their way abroad via the developing cinematic market.
The Greek Parliament supports the actions of this important cultural event, recognising both its educational dimension, as well as its contribution to the mutual understanding of people coming from different cultures. Within this framework, the Parliament annually bestows the "Human Values" award to a film from the competition programmes of the Festival, which stands out in terms of its thematical innovation, artistic adequacy and humanitarian perspective.
After all, the values that add substance and quality to human life such as freedom, dignity, peace, security, solidarity, and justice should guide us in fulfilling our duty towards future generations.
With these thoughts in mind, I am happy to welcome this year's 22nd run of the Festival, and I am certain of its success for yet another year.

THE OLYMPIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL for Children and Young People is taking its 22nd step this year.
The Festival is growing up, it has both feet firmly on the ground and it counts not only thousands of young, curious filmmakers roaming around camera in hand, but also spectators and admirers from all over the world.
Boasting an impressive organisational thoroughness, this exceptional cultural institution is one of the most important artistic events of Western Greece, and its impact is felt much farther than the borders of our country.
Along with the 19th European Meeting of Youth Audiovisual Creation - Camera Zizanio, the Festival builds a bridge of friendship and collaboration between filmmakers from different countries and of different cultures and views, while at the same time firmly promoting the timeless values of the Olympic spirit.
The cinematic magic is proof not only of the power it holds, but also of its ability to get messages across, promote values, and project and analyse controversial subjects. The twofold role it is called to play that of being both a cultural and an educational endeavour not only inducts children and young people to the world of cinema, but it also casts them in the leading part, as this is their very own Festival. It manages to communicate with them about all issues that concern them in a bold, original and imaginative way.
It is our duty to ensure that children will have the abilities and tools to develop a relationship with cinema which will create the conditions needed to educate tomorrow's audiences, and even tomorrow's creators. After all, the Festival itself is a prime example of what can be achieved when individuals have a vision and goals, and serve them consistently, responsibly and with devotion.
The public office of the Region of Western Greece joins hands and cooperates with all bodies that work methodically and creatively towards our country's cultural development. We come together with those who, in the face of difficulty, open up new horizons for creative expression, aiming to contribute as much as possible to the intellectual and mental growth of young people, and to the cultivation of their critical thinking.
The Festival will soon have a "home" of its own, with the upcoming creation of the European Centre for Youth Audiovisual Creation in the premises of the former ASO factory in Pirgos, Greece. After all, the operation of the Office for the Facilitation of Audiovisual Productions (Film Office) and the participation in the European project CIAK, will constitute our region more attractive as a filming location, with an ultimate goal to render Western Greece a `film destination'.
I hope that this will be yet another year when our young friends will discover the unique and amazing universe of the big screen.
I would like to wholeheartedly congratulate all those who contributed to this effort; the Social and Cooperative Enterprise of the Olympia Festival, the volunteers, the competitors, those encouraging the creation of workshops, be it that they are Greek or foreign. We are certain that the Olympia International Festival for Children and Young People will continue its work with great success.
Enjoy the viewings!

OBSERVING CLOSELY all the contributions that the Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People has made to education and culture all these years, we realise that its heritage is none other than the massive participation of children and young people from Greece and all over the world. The Festival's mark on the present and the future consists of children and young people's creativity, as well as their openness, both of which are a constant source of revitalisation.
For the past 22 years, the Western Greece Region, Elis, Achaea, and Aetolia-Acarnania have been a "womb" where critical thinking, inspiration and expression are being developed, triggered by the original stimulus that is the image, the primary element of the art of cinema. At the same time, values are being promoted, such as acceptance of diversity, love for fellow humans and the environment, and connection and understanding of different cultures. It's these different cultures that "travel" around Western Greece via films and images, with new technology serving to re-establish cinema as an educational device, while at the same time aiding its special role in promoting education and culture.
The new Regional Administration supports the vision of the `Social and Cooperative Enterprise of the Olympia Festival' team, all the creators who participate with their films, the people who support the Festival's educational aspect, as well as that of the spectators of all ages that fill the movie theatres; we are present and we see the future of this institution, looking into the immediate actualisation of the next big step in its course, namely the housing and further development of the Festival's activities at the former ASO factory in Pirgos.
As President of the Organisation Committee, I am happy to welcome the start of the 22nd Olympia Film Festival and the 19th European Meeting for Youth Audiovisual Creation Camera Zizanio. Both these institutions give life the biggest celebration of cinema for children and young people, a celebration that has grown over time to become a channel of expression for children and young people from all over the world.

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE to welcome the start of the 22nd Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People. I won't deny how much I wish that I was there to enjoy the Festival with you.
For my part and as president of the Greek National Tourist Organization, I would like to declare my unwavering support for this extremely important institution that you have managed to establish, thanks to the consistency, devotion and hard work you put towards it every year. I speak for everyone when I say that we are immensely grateful towards all of you, the people who are at the core of this driven, active and creative endeavour.
You have created an acclaimed institution; yours is an important festival, where cities of Greece transform into a hospitable "womb", which seeks to host and give prominence to some of the most creative cells of children and youth's cinema from all over the world. Your endeavours have led to the creation of an important artistic hub in the cinematic industry, and they leave a very special mark when it comes to the promotion of our country.
We are very pleased that your festival has been established internationally as one of the most important film festivals for children and teenagers, as it has developed to have both an entertaining and an educational character. We always support you in your endeavours with all our might.
I wish the Festival nothing but success.

AS ALWAYS, ERT SA supports Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People, an event that matters to the youth and its mission is the support of film education.

IT IS WITH GREAT JOY that I address the 22nd Olympia International Film. Festival for Children and Young People on behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Greek Film Center. The Olympia International Film Festival not only continues its activ-
ities in the wake of such troubled times, but it also constantly develops new actions. It showcases the brightest examples of international cinematic production and uses innovative methods to familiarize children and young people with the meaning that is to be derived from films. Still, where is the value for young people in unlocking the meaning behind films? I recall the words of French cinema theoretician Christian Metz: "A film is difficult to explain because it is so easy to understand. Conversely, the semiotics of a film are easy to explain, because they are hard to understand! Between those two points lies the brilliance of cinema". The Olympia Festival offers this divine gift to the young people of this Greek region: the ability to come into contact and comprehend cinematic language through producing and creating their own films. By decoding this language, young people are educated to fully comprehend this world and become wiser themselves.
We would like to thank the Olympia International Film Festival for its creative role and valuable work.
Panos Loukakos Chairman of the Greek Film Center

AS AN ART, CINEMA HAS THE POWER to transform society and its citizens; therefore, every individual should be able to have access to it. In order to come into contact with the art of cinema, children and young people need ambassadors: people who produce and people who distribute films that address the issues of youth. Those ambassadors are, therefore, the creators on the one hand, and film festivals for children and young people on the other; film festivals like the Olympia International Film Festival, which has been hosting films and creators from all over the world for 22 years.
The Greek Film Center welcomes this annual creative meeting. As a public body that supports the artistic work of contemporary Greek filmmakers through selective funding procedures, we recognize and accept the weight of our responsibility in the creation and support of high-aesthetic cinematography that treats children and young people like adults. Within this framework and through the specialized funding programme for the production of cinematic work for children and young people, we invite creators to share stories inspired from the reality children live in and to teach us the values, history and diversity of different peoples in an attractive manner.
Apart from showcasing cinematic content for children and young people, the Olympia International Film Festival is also actively involved in running educational initiatives, attracting and hosting professionals from the audiovisual industry in Europe and reinforcing the development and production of relevant content. The Greek Film Center recognizes the multidimensional role of the Festival, it is actively present in assisting and promoting its actions and wishes nothing but success to this year's event.

THE NATIONAL CENTRE of Audiovisual Media and Communication (EKOME) is happy to support the 22nd Olympia Film Festival for Children and Young People, as we wish to aid the work of one of the most important festivals of its kind globally. This institution is distinguished for its rich competitive programme and high-quality parallel actions, which place children and young people in their focus, and give them both the role of guest/audience and creator. For EKOME, the Olympia Festival is not only a meeting point for the promotion of children and youth cinema, but also a continuous workshop where ideas and innovative actions in the field of audiovisual education are being created.
The collaboration between EKOME and the Olympia Festival focuses especially on the field of audiovisual education programmes, emphasising on the specialised genre of "Film for Children and Young People", as it serves to educate and instruct young people in Media Information Literacy (MIL), using cinematic discourse as a creative means for expression.
This joint endeavour with the Olympia Festival is added to the total of collaborations and actions we develop for the field of audiovisual education and Media Information Literacy. We work together with important organisations both in Greece and abroad (UNESCO-GAPMIL, European Council, European Commission, NuBoyana / FilmForge, European Audiovisual Observatory, Ministry of Education, British Film Institute), in order to further aid our national efforts to develop Media Information Literacy in Greece, in the interest of pupils, students, educators, parents, and creators.
We wish the Olympia Festival nothing but success!

THE MUNICIPALITY OF PYRGOS turns its attention to culture, a dynamic element which will serve to change the city's profile and enhance its visibility. As our aim is to boost and develop actions and initiatives that will constitute a resounding driving force for growth, we embrace the institution of the Olympia Film Festival for children and young people; it is an important institution, whose timelessness and artistic and educative character open up new horizons of creation and expression for the most demanding, but also most hopeful "judges" of our efforts: children and young people.
In Pyrgos, we experience a Festival that cultivates art, stimulates creativity, and helps develop borderless and discrimination-free communication, while at the same time teaching a most important lesson, through action and interaction: the lesson of creating culture based on values, liveliness, imagination, and knowledge.
For 22 years, Pyrgos has housed the Olympia Festival; during Festival days, the city transforms into a filming set, an art workshop, and an education amphitheatre for kids from the city and all over the world, who participate in the biggest youth and children's cinematic celebration of the country with vivacity and talent. For yet another year, children will film their own movies, adopting roles both in front and behind the camera.
Over time, the Festival has managed to be established globally as one of the most important film festivals for children and teenagers, combining entertaining with education. Because of this, it becomes self-evident that we have a responsibility to support, in any way we can, the children's right and desire to keep their horizons open; in doing so, we will enable them to see and explore all corners of the world, dream of a better future than the one we are about to hand over to them, and gain the skills required to make it so.
The municipality of Pyrgos remains a loyal companion to the children on this journey. Accepting the fact that imagery is the new language of communication, we will try to "dress" these images with light and colour, optimism and positive energy.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE EXCITING than art that draws inspiration from and addresses children, and there is nothing more important than talking with them and pondering about the world we are building for them.
This is why we are proud and happy to welcome the Olympia Film Festival. It is an institution that manages to entertain, educate, break boundaries, and unite us using the unique language of film every year. When cinema goes to school and schools go to the cinema, we can be optimistic for a young generation with a restless and sensitive spirit, that enjoys better audiovisual culture, learns to utilise technology for art, creates and criticises.
We are also proud because the Festival is a daring institution, insisting to take place here in a small region of Greece, and bringing results by spreading through a society thirsty for art.
This year we have the great pleasure to host an exhibition about the life and work of Manolis Anagnostakis, a creator of rare poetic and political ethos and bravery; we are also welcoming a plethora of activities, addressed primarily to the children and young people of Amaliada and the municipality of Elis, through the realisation of film creation workshops.
Most importantly, we all young or old will have the chance to watch the incredible films of Kids & Docs, the documentary segment of the Olympia Festival, which will be screened exclusively in Amaliada and which discuss issues affecting the life of children in various parts of the planet.
The municipality of Elis actively supports the Festival and especially its independent segment Kids & Docs, which puts Amaliada on the international map of film festivals.
I wish nothing but success to the 22nd Olympia Film Festival; we are expecting it for yet another year, to bring Spring to our little towns in the midst of Winter.

CINEMA FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE utilises a language in order to represent the world around us, and its primary concern is to address children, teenagers, and young adults. The Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People has been serving the genre of cinema for children and young people since its establishment in 1997, by promoting qualitative films that don't usually find their way towards commercial distribution. This year's competitive programme alone will project 86 films from 59 countries of the world, which touch on issues from all aspects of children and young people's lives. The making of these films required knowledge, sensitivity, talent, and bravery. The fact we are presenting these films in our Festival is a small homage to their creators. The 4th Kids & Docs segment taking place in Amaliada has a special importance for us. During its course, 29+1 exceptional documentaries will be projected, and many of their creators will be present to chat with the audience, while the city of documentary gets its bearings. The feature "2019. Approaching childhood and youth in modern Greek cinema" is also important, as it will showcase 14 short films of recent Greek production. These films were not shot with a young audience in mind, but they are worth taking note of, seeing as, in a way, they deal with modern Greek society in the present. The other side of this feature is the 2nd Olympia "Creative Ideas" Pitching Lab; it is a workshop for professional filmmakers, which aims to boost the production of films for children and young people in Greece, seeing as the level of said production in Greece is much lower than that in the rest of Europe. However, being a member of the audience watching select films is not the only thing to be enjoyed by young (and older) audiences in Pirgos, Amaliada, and other cities of the Western Greece Region. Dozens of workshops, seminars, and masterclasses complement the happenings taking place in the movie theatres, Camera Zizanio continues to confidently present the creations of children from our country and all over the world, and hundreds of visitors arrive to brighten up the city of Pirgos. Given the extent of the Festival's activities, there is only one thing missing: a space that can adequately house these activities in their multitude, and constitute a starting point for the Festival's further growth. This space will be the old raisin factory of ASO. With the funding secured from the Public Investments Programme and the active support of the Public Office of the Western Region Greece, the only thing we have to fear in the future is our lesser selves. Still, the past 21 years of the Festival stand proudly in the face of this fear, as do all our other activities relating to the genre of cinema for children and young people and film education since the beginning of the 90's...

As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is `failing' in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream.

TOWARDS CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH IN
MODERN GREEK CINEMA
. , . , , , ("coming of age"), , , , . , , , , , . " " " ", , . , , . The numbers are relentless when it comes to showing that today's Greek cinematic community overlooks or underestimates the need to produce films addressing an audience of children and teenagers. However, this is not due to directors not being interested in the issues of childhood, puberty and early youth. At the Short Film Festival of Drama, Greece, we have the pleasure every year to watch many films featuring children, teenagers and young adults as their heroes. Some of those films seek to talk about the way our identity settles during the turbulent years of puberty or early youth (the concept of `coming of age'), others discuss the many challenges that a young person faces in Greece of today, while others venture to critically dissect the peculiarities of the Greek family. In this year's feature, we give the floor to fourteen Greek directors, five of whom live and work abroad; those directors, each and every one of them in their own way, introduce to the adult audience the coming generation, namely the generation that is already here and is struggling to find its place. This is not a case of films by "young directors arriving from the future", but rather the fruit of the efforts of talented filmmakers, who work hard and with scant resources, to ultimately create original stories, which fill both the big screen and our hearts. These films are aimed at an adult audience, but teenage girls and boys can gain a lot by watching them.

Jannik Hastrup « », . 1941 , . , . T '60 '70 60 , '80 . Jannik Hastrup : . ' : , , , .
Jannik Hastrup is a living legend of animation; in fact, they call him "the European wizard". He was born in Denmark in 1941 and started his career as a jazz musician. For a while he also experimented with ceramics. When he turned to cinema, he dedicated himself exclusively to animation, directing many films and teaching his craft in a number of universities. During the '60s and the '70s he directed and produced some 60 short films, but since the '80s he focuses mainly in feature length productions. Jannik Hastrup has created his own "school" of European animation: Trademarks of his work are his original drawings in vibrant colours and the sassy characters he creates. But there's another reason for which his work is immediately recognisable: As we can see in the six films that form this tribute, while his subject matters are always of high intellect, he has a way of communicating them so that young children can both grasp their essence and also enjoy them.

These five filmmakers are the winners of the competition #EUandMe for young directors. The films were selected by a jury of professional directors and were then put to a public vote, in order to determine the winners. The films are available on the online hub #EUandMe (europa.eu/euandme), and they aim to promote the rights of young Europeans, as well as the benefits they can enjoy thanks to the EU.

/ THE LAUGHING SKETCH
/Argyris Theos ( /cinematographer)
, . (, , ) ( ) . ( ) . Wittgenstein (1921) «2.173: ( ), » . . : , , , , , , , The study presented investigates the boundaries between empathy and Visual Literacy with the use of approaches based on experience. The term refers to a series of skills that allow the person possessing them to read the information the image (or, in the case of Audiovisual Literacy, a video) conveys, and to create simple images (or videos) that convey the information in any way he/she chooses. We believe that (contrary to verbal communication) the image mostly appeals to empathy and that there is a way for one to be taught the right reading as well as creation of images. It is an attempt to comment on Wittgenstein (1921) when he writes, "2.173: A picture represents its subject from a position outside it. (Its standpoint is its representational form.) That is why a picture represents its subject correctly or incorrectly." As case studies, two Visual Literacy workshops taught for teachers of Middle Education are chosen. The methodology and results are analyzed. Key words: Visual Literacy, Audiovisual Literacy, experience-based exercises, image, language, empathy, feeling, communication

The 2nd Olympia `Creative Ideas' Pitching Lab is an action by the Olympia Festival, which aims to boost the production of films for children and young people in Greece, seeing as the level of said production in Greece is much lower than that in the rest of Europe. This year we welcome 11 creators out of the 41 who submitted their ideas. The Lab's goal is primarily to familiarise creators with the industry of children's cinema, through proposals by experts and watching films; secondly, the Lab seeks to enable creators to clarify their ideas, provide them with a foundation for their presentation, and ultimately give them a platform to present said ideas to an audience consisting of professionals. The initiative aims to produce qualitative films, which will meet international criteria for films for children and young people while avoiding the traps of oversimplification and misguided commerciality, and will be promotable within the international network of film festivals for children and young people.

The life and work of Manolis Anagnostakis is celebrated in 11 thematic sections, each corresponding to a poetic anthology of his. Literary critic Alexis Ziras will give a lecture titled "Manolis Anagnostakis: The public and personal ethics of his poetry", while the film "Manolis Anagnostakis: Fifteen plus one moving images", written and directed by Lakis Papastahis, will be projected. Within the scope of and for the duration of the exhibition, educational programmes for pupils will be held. Their goal is to bring children into contact with Anagnostakis' poetry, and mainly to showcase certain of its aspects experientially; in doing so children will be able to get acquainted with the poet and his work, and connect with his era and contemporary Greek history. To this end, experiential practices and theatre techniques will be employed, getting children to participate actively by "marrying" poetry with art and creating images inspired by Anagnostakis' poetic work. This educational programme was created by a team of educators of the Hellenic Parliament and is directed towards older pupils.
