Day3: Friday |10:00-10:45| Morning Conversation - Take the Children- and the Children's Film Seriously
Ingvil Giske, Kajsa Næss, Cecilie Aspenes (NFI), Berit Andersen (NFI)
The majority of children's films, and most available content for children, as they are produced, funded, and distributed, often undermine the concept of film as an artform and overlook the potential of children as innovative, creative, and intelligent audiences. How can we better harness children's boundless imagination and their unique ability to engage deeply with visual storytelling?

In conversation:
