"The Youth & Media Programme supports and shows creative media expression by young talented people in Europe. We seek to include the perspectives of a new generation of European documentary makers, and provide access where it is not evident. We are NOW looking for creative short documentaries. All productions will be part of a professional selection procedure at the renowned International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA, 18 – 28 November 2010 in Amsterdam).
What sort of videos fit in the scope of the programme?
We are looking for videos that:

4. share interesting points of view;
5. meet the technical requirements;
6. have English subtitles;
7. when having music and sound, these are free of rights.

Specific ranges of topics of interest to the programme
The European Cultural Foundation has a special focus on themes that relate to the quest for new European Narratives, like:
• Language and mother tongue
