WildlifeVaasaFestival2012:BOOKOFENTRIES(part2) PART1.ChildenandYouthfilmcompetitionandmediaeducationprojects Overview

DearFriendsandColleagues,
Overthelasttenyears,animationandmoviemakingatschools hasbeendevelopinginaveryfastpaceandinmanycountries, with new audiovisual technologies allowing nowadays high definition picture quality with easy to use equipment. Furthermore, new publishing media have now been available and free to use for anyone in order to publish films online. Under such circumstances, media education has started to integratemoreeasyinsidetheschools,whereschoolclassesare nowwellequippedwithvideocamerasandvideoprojectorsavailable,allowingmediaeducators toteachvideoeditingandimplementsoundrecordingsessionsintotheclassroom.Inaddition,the number of film festivals hosting such films have increased, hosting and circulating media educationprojectworks,onaglobalscale.
Wildlife Vaasa Festival has been active in that field from year 2004,whentheFinnishMinistryofEducationlaunchedaproject called Filmihillo, which aimed to promote media and film education for children and young people across Finland. Our festival responded positively to that call, by adding a Children and Youth Film day in the festival program and a second film competitioninitscompetitivesectors,whichaimedtohostonly filmsmadebychildrenandyoungpeople.Asaresult,inthisvery firstcompetitionparticipated44films,mostofthemfromFinlandandSweden.
Two years later, in 2006, Children and Youth film competitions numberofentriesandthenumberofcountriesstartedtoincrease, reflecting a positive development in the field of media education, until 2008, when our festival launched its own media education project,startingtoimplementfilmmakingprojectsatschoolsinthe south Ostrobothnian towns of Kristinestad, Metsl and Skaftung, producingthere2documentariesand6shadowtheatreanimations. The project continued in 2009 in Vaasa with the production of 4 documentary films in cooperation with primary schools and the citys young foreigners department. The same year, the project received a significant financial support from the Finnish Culture Foundation, in order to expand film production at schools in the wholeregion.

Therefore, in 2010, thanks to our participants motivation, the projecthasbeenmostsuccessfulwithatotalproductionof16film projects that year; in Vaasa, Seinjoki, Isokyr and Korsns, while the festivals Children and Youth Competition in 2010 hit a new record hosting 49 films from 12 countries, including films from Armenia,GreeceandTaiwan.Meanwhile,someofthesefilmswere subtitledinEnglishtobesendtofestivalsinChina,Armenia,Greece andTaiwan,whilesupportfromtheSwedishCulturalFoundationin Finland and the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia allowed us in 2011 to start making films at schoolssituatedintheSwedishspeakingcoastalareaofourregion,withthehelpofFinnishauthor andpoetMrs.CaritaNystrm,whogladlyjoinedourprojectandourproductionteamfrom2010, Carita Nystrm did a fantastic work in creating motivation among pupils, planning and coordinating shootingdaysandeditingsessionsandassistingwith the school pupils to create very interesting film stories using her professional techniques. The combination of such dynamics brought up nature films floating with culture traditions and rich information transfer from the old generation to the new.Inaddition,activeinvolvementbyteachersand adults has helped a lot to add more strong content andmessageintotheseproductions.
Apart from production of the above mentioned films, our media education also includes film screenings and film production workshops for adults who wish to develop their audiovisualskillstoahigherlevelallcoursesare'handson' andtaughtbyprofessionalfilmmakersandteachersas Nik Van Eckmann who has more that 30 years experience in filmproduction.Allthosesuccessfuloperationsduringthelast 6 years were made possible by financial support from the Finnish Culture Foundation's, South Ostrobothnian Foundation, The Swedish Cultural Fund in Finland,theRegionalCouncilofOstrobothnia,ChildandNatureFoundation,theOstrobothnian museum and Vaasa City andwe are very grateful for their support which make this project successful.
Lastyear,in2011anotherfilmprojectwithyoungimmigrants from Vaasa was very successfully implemented. The film Mission Possible is reflecting young immigrants and their teachers opinions concerning their integration to Finnish society. The film also stresses the role of local environment awarenessthroughnaturetripsasanintegrationtool.Forthat, thefilmincludedanaturetriptoKvarkenarchipelago.
All these new films produced during the last 2 years during our project, together with 100 more, taking part in this years competition, will make another record of 104 films from 11 countriesparticipatingthisyear.Mostofthem,willbescreenedand presented at Ritz Theatre on Sunday 25th November, during the Children and Youth Film Day day when we will also announce the resultsandthewinnersofthisyearsfilmcompetition.

We are very proud to present their works, because apart from integrating and disseminating media education throughout the world, their films also depict and reflect the new generations points of viewing their future within the functioning of their own societies, including the social aftermathofthelatesteconomiccrisisinEurope,acrisisthataffectstheirdreamsandtheirfuture togetherwiththefutureofourplanet,asaresultofhumaninteractiontowardsmotherNature andthewellbeingofourplanetEarth.

TheOrganization:Videootitry VIDEOVANKKURI(Videowagon)project
Videovankkuri (Video wagon) is a national hands-on media education project. It offers both video and photography workshops, whose aim is to teach children and youngsters to use media equipment. Videovankkuri also trains teachers and others who can apply these skills and knowledge in their work. Besides letting kids and young people have their voices heard, the project records Finnish folklore and local history through photography, video and animation. According to a fixed schedule, Videovankkuri visits Finnish schools, libraries, youth and culture centres, child welfare institutes, nursery schools and museums. Workshops last from 1-3 days. The instructors bring the equipment with them, but they also show how to use the existing equipment on location. The instructors are all qualified professionals from the registered association Videootit, which is an organisation consisting of people with long working history with children and youngsters and art and media education. Videootit thanks The Ministry of Education and Culture for their significant support.
