In partnership with the Fundación Caja Navarra and A Bao A Qu, the festival is organising this workshop in which a group of young people meet over several weeks to watch a series of films proposed by film-makers, programmers and teachers Mercedes Álvarez and Arturo Redín, and then discuss them in order to select one to be screened at the festival, presented by themselves.

Drawing up a film programme involves watching films carefully, knowing about filmmakers' work, establishing relations, thinking about how to show a film to make it a special experience for spectators and coming up with ways to support and publicise it to enable it to be discovered and appreciated. By engaging in these processes, the Young Programmers will forge a very special link with the films they see and programme, and can pass this on to other young people.
*A Bao A Qu is a cultural association founded in 2004 specifically dedicated to projects that link creation and education, involving children and young people, creators (filmmakers, photographers, artists...) and teachers. Among the programs developed by the association are "Cinema in progress", "Photography in progress", "Creators in residence in Barcelona high schools" and the European projects "Moving Cinema" and "CinEd".
This scheme forms part of the European Moving Cinema project, led by A Bao A Qu since 2014 and which has already been part of other festivals, including Festival de Cine de Sevilla, D’A Film Festival, l’Alternativa, BelDocs (Serbia), Kino Otok (Slovenia) and Vilnius Film Festival (Lithuania).
