“Do you have a minute?”Banja Luka, BiH - 11 March 2013 - “Do you have a minute?” is the title of a OneMinutesJr Film Festival taking place in Banja Luka's Multiplex Palace Cinema on 14 March 2013. 22 selected movies, produced by children from 11 cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will be screened during the Festival. Winners in different categories will be announced after the screening.
The
movies, entirely produced by children, were originally created under the project Strengthening the Social
Protection and Inclusion
System. Children from Brčko
distrikt,
Posušje, Velika Kladuša, Tešanj, Gornji Vakuf/Uskoplje,
Kupres, Prnjavor,
Derventa, Mrkonjić Grad and Čelinac i Gacko were trained how to
conceptualize their
ideas of social inclusion into a one minute movie form. Out
of a total of 105 movies produced, 22 were pre-selected for the
Festival. The
Jury
constituted of professionals from the areas of Film, Theater,
Journalism and
Photography will decide on the winners for the best scenario,
directing,
acting, the special Jury Award and finally – the Grand Prix of
the Festival. All the 105 movies were qualified for an Audience Award that will be given based on the total number of “likes”, acquired on Facebook. The Project
for Enhancing
the Social Protection and Inclusion System for Children in BiH
(SPIS) is
funded by the European Union and implemented by UNICEF and
Government
authorities at all levels. The programme
has been financed
by the European Union since 2008 from the Instrument for
Pre-Accession
Assistance (IPA) in a total amount of 4.1 million EUR, with
the
objective to support enhancing the system for adequate social
protection policy
and inclusion of children and their families. The SPIS
approach, which
has been successfully modeled in 21 Municipalities, has the
potential to be
expanded to the rest of the country. The partner of the Festival is company M:tel.
