Seven groups of Austrian young people worked together with young people in Cameroon, Mexico, the Philippines, Rojava (northern Syria), Senegal, Kenya and Equatorial Guinea to produce short films on children’s rights.
Under the guidance of renowned filmmakers, a total of 30 very different films were produced: Fiction films, short documentaries, music videos and animated films, which were presented in cinemas in December 2022 and will be published here.
Short versions of some of the films also appear on Instagram, Facebook (Kinderfressen leicht gemacht) and Mastodon.
If you would like to be informed about the release of the films and the project or would like to book film workshops, please email us at: film@schweigendemehrheit.at.
