Cíle předmětu
Although children’s films are in many cases critically recognized, even internationally acclaimed (Czech puppet films, for example), they have not received much scholarly attention. Many studies have been focusing mostly on Disney production or Hollywood family films. The aim of this course is thus to introduce students to children's film and its specific characteristics for distribution, festival screening and its marketing. Can the children's film be seen as underestimated, especially when compared with the broader label of family film? What is its specification? How has the market of the children film festival circuit changed? Is there any difference between the films in regular cinema distribution and festival films?
This course will be led by several different personalities, who will offer various, yet intersecting perspectives on the circulation of children's films. Special attention will be paid to the European children's festival circuit, which can be considered as the largest distribution network of children's films.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course, students will be able to:
1) recognize the children's film as a significant item of regular cinema distribution and its marketing potential
2) identify the specific festival circuit for children and young audience film festivals
3) understand the specificity of the individual films as market items from the perspective of the sales agent.
