Board Member European Children’s Film Association (www.ecfaweb.org)

ECFA, founded in 1988, is the organisation for all who are interested in high quality films for children and young people: film makers, producers, promoters, distributors, exhibitors, TV-programmers, festival organizers and film educators.
Audio-visual media in general and cinema in particular are vehicles for artistic communication and for cultural transmission. Now that the world is becoming a "global village", children and young people have more and more access to culture and those who use the cinematic media are more numerous than we can imagine. The aim of ECFA is to bring the children in contact with the great machine called cinema.
