AREA Suceava is running several workshops al local and international level to promote Shots of Dialogue. Groups from Romania and international teams are almost ready to send their short movies which will be screened in Dinan (France) during the Festival next May.

Hands Up Movies Project - HUMP goes on! We are proud to show some pictures of the workshop, and we can't stand the wait for seeing the results! For more information about the French local actions, carried out by Liliana Matuszewska, with the partner organization Intercultura,  visit the website.

AE2O (Association for Second Chance Education) and Second Chance School in Matosinhos, Portugal are finally ready to start their "Shots of Dialogue" local project! The idea of this project, designed and prepared by Hugo Peixoto, one of the participants of "Shots of Dialogue" training course, is to engage students of the Second Chance School in Matosinhos in video lessons and realize with them a short movie on the topic of "cultural diversity", to be sent to the "Shots of Dialogue" film festival in France.

 Good news from our Dutch friends. Marina, after the training course in Italy, went back home and started to work with a group of 5 young boys to make their short movie that will be sent to the festival. She is also planning a new training course to be organized in Holland. Shots of Diaogue also got some attention from media in Holland.

Alena, one of the participants to the training course, wrote an article about her beeing in Italy and the project. It's in Swedish but anyway if you are interrested in you can go here to read it.

The Dutch organisation Stichting Richting organises a short-term workshop coordinated by the participant to ‘Shots of Dialogue' Marina Lourens.

Del 13 al 21 de marzo la ciudad de Córdoba acoge la tercera edición del Festival Gay-Lésbico de las Artes Audiovisuales de Andalucía, IDEM.
