 makers to finish their short or first feature

 out of the 254 productions that applied.

TAKING CINEMA TO SECONDARY
     SCHOOL PUPILS AND
 APPRENTICES IN PARIS REGION
  >> Pupils and apprentices
  at the movies
   “Pupils and apprentices at the movies” is a
   regional programme for education covering
   moving images. It gives pupils in general,
   vocational and agricultural upper secondary
   schools and students in apprenticeship trai-
   ning centres (CFA) an opportunity to explore
   at least 3 film works during screenings orga-
   nised for them in theatres.
   Its goal is to enable young people to build
   up, alongside the educational aware-
   ness-raising work carried out by teachers
   and cultural partners, the foundations of a
   film culture.
   Registrations for the scheme have been
   increasing since 2016, testament to the fact
   that it is fully operational and has a strong
   presence throughout the entire region.
