Summary: Cinema is a coeval art that its popularity is growing really fast especially among young people today. We believe, one of the most important reasons which makes cinema so popular is that, cinema requires different points of view to objects, people, events, nature and life. Just like in cinema, cultures are also different points of view to life. Every community have a different style of perceiving and living the life and every director has different style of perceiving and recording the theme and the moment. In our project, named ?Youth Movie?, participants 5 countries will record of some certain themes, with different cameras (amateur or professional) and by their points of view. Then we will discuss about the differences in the movies and differences in the cultures. Participants shouldn ? t necessarily be a professional movie maker. Even they know nothing about cinema, it is not a problem. We will also stress on anti-racism/xenophobia and intercultural-learning. In the activities we will learn a little about cinema but a lot about each other; have long-lasting friendships, and erase the prejudices in our minds among each others\' community and culture.
