Go Short collaborates with vocational, higher professional, and university programs to connect short film to education in a meaningful and inspiring way. Through film programs and in-depth activities, we can offer social insights or theoretical reflection.
We collaborate with you to create programs tailored to a specific program, project, or theme.
For vocational colleges (mbo) programs, we offer both content-based and practice-oriented programs. For example, students can participate in an in-depth citizenship program, where short films serve as a starting point for discussions about identity, responsibility, coexistence, and social issues.
We also welcome event management students to the festival every year. They get a behind-the-scenes look at an international film festival and discuss the organization of the event with our producer. How do you put together a program? What's involved in production and audience development? This is how we connect theory with practice.
Within higher professional education, we explicitly seek to connect the content with various study programs. Consider a film program focusing on cultural diversity during a thematic week, a collaboration with teacher training colleges focusing on educational screenings, or a talk that addresses social or pedagogical issues. We can combine film screenings with follow-up discussions with filmmakers, programmers, or professionals from the field.
University programs often emphasize theoretical depth and analysis. In collaboration with programs like General Cultural Studies, we organize talks with filmmakers and film critics, placing films within a broader cultural, social, or historical context.
We can also select specific films to introduce or deepen a particular topic within a course or research project. We're happy to help you develop a suitable format that aligns with the academic context.
