Young Audience Development
Throughout the year, the Obala Art Centar Association pays special attention to the education of young people and the development of young cinema audience with the aim of passing on the experience of going to cinema and watching films on big cinema screen to young people.
Screenings for primary and secondary schools are regularly organised at the Meeting Point Cinema and after the screenings films are discussed with young people, their attitude towards cinema and the importance of going to cinema.
The objective of the activity is to develop young people's critical thinking about film and love for film and to show young people that going to cinema can enrich their lives as it contributes to socialisation, communication and dialogue.
