It is now the day after returning from YEFF. I will the miss the wining and dining, some of the people and the general atmosphere that was present.
I believe that the continued development of YEFF is necessary, due to the topic that relates to all people in Europe. It is very important to give a voice to the youth of today, so as to enable the issues that are present to be tackled, such as integration and diversification.
The standard of films that were made varied quite significantly, yet the majority of them had good intentions. It was a shame that the time for debating and analysing was so short, I think that this is one of the areas of YEFF that needs reflecting on and improving.
I hope to keep in contact and hopefully form a few cross border projects with some of the participants. I also look forward to YEFF 2009 in Gotenberg, Sweden. I would love to go again.
I call to any young filmmakers who read this blog to make a film on this topic for Sweden, as it is a worthwhile event that could well inspire you in life. If anyone else feels that i have not included information on my blog, then don't hesitate to ask me. Also check out the YEFF website at www.yeff.net for more info.
