ENGLISH BREAKFAST - Spots short films by youth for democracy

In this program we speak with Linda Rebmann-Musacchio, regional coordinator of one of the 36 locations of this educational training series and two of the youth participants David and Maxi (both (9th grade, WHG Werner-Heisenberg Gynasium High School).

Thanks to collective engagement including teachers, film producers, the Kunsthalle Göppingen, Staufer Kino, and radiofips with English Breakfast youth were able to take part in this program.

Students recieved education on the topic of discrimination and reflect on the portayal of characters in film. Class paticipants were also given equipment to use such as microphones and tablets to try their own hand at creating a film on the topic of racism and democracy.

The initialtive spots was brought about through the support of the German Film academy and was directly aimed as youth, in particular youth living in more rural areas. Its participatory nature brings closer the role of arts and culture in a social cultural context and how it can be used to promote democratic processes and anti discrimination work. The results are shown in movie theaters with the focus on social and cultural engagement with the motto: Kinofest für Vielfalt und Demokratie. Kurzfilme schauen. Miteinander reden. Gemeinsam feiern.

Students were also able to view a selected film "Die Einzeltäter" whereby the director and producer Julian Vogel enterred in a discussion with students. His trilogy was nominated from a Grimme Award. His film is dedicated to the vicitm's families of political right wing terrorist attacks which took place in Munich 2016, Halle 2019 and Hanau 2020.
