From 27 June to 1 July, Europa Cinemas organised its fifth annual seminar devoted to Young Audiences under the theme of the CHALLENGE OF GENERATIONS. The discussions took place as part of the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival organised by the Cineteca di Bologna.

Our theme this year is twofold: to review how specialist cinemas can actively contribute to creating a sense of cinema’s history through their programme, especially for youth audiences; and to learn how digital technologies can help them do so – rather than being seen as a threat to the ‘culture of celluloid’.

As part of the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival, for the third year Europa Cinemas organised a seminar with the Cineteca di Bologna focusing on young audiences and classic films.
