Eleven awards were won by films created by Schools of Chania, within the framework of the Educational Programs cine Lessons and CReDoc / Crete, Oral History, of the Chania Film Festival, in the 11th International Student Short Film Competition “Cinema… did you read?!”
It is worth noting that the films were created in the first half of 2020, under particularly difficult conditions due to Covid19 and are, in their entirety, a practical proof of the fact that the documentary has the potential to bring children together in Local History in the best way, while getting to know them the Art of Cinema.
We would like to point out that 110 films from Greece and Cyprus participated in the competition and the Schools of Chania won awards and distinctions in all categories where they participated.
The Chania Film Festival congratulates students and teachers for their distinctions as well as their partners, trainers and advisors in school creations. Unique commitment, the continuity and development of the effort of all of us!
