Whereas a lot of Europeans feel at lost and in distress regarding the EU, many outsiders still see Europe as a place of refuge and longing. New hopes alternate with feelings of despair among many in the European Union. New and old cleavages between North and South are opening up. Is the project threatened? Can it reinvent itself? We invite YOU to send us your idea of a short film that expresses yo
ur awareness of life in Europe and your attitude towards Europe. Show us your point of view on the current political and economic situation and express your hopes about the direction Europe should move towards – between globalization and our “European home”, between cultural diversity, a clear focus on human rights, but also new racist movements, between educational opportunities and exclusion, between exploring own abilities in undreamed-of possibilities and new poverty. Show us your young views of the old continent, your approach, your contribution to Europe’s self-reflection and your ideas. We want criticism and new energy, we do not want propaganda, but a fresh regard. Send us your moving and touching images of Europe’s past, present and future! Get your idea reviewed by experienced filmmakers, realize it with a generous budget and find your short film in the final film “Europe at heart”. Besides, you can also win great filming equipment. So go ahead, read the competition rules and get started! We want to know:
