Together, we bring the magic world of film to children in hospitals

We’re just a few days away from the new edition of Sweden’s BUFF, the festival that, together with us and Belgium’s JEF, launched the Film in Hospital platform and has been bringing fresh cinematic magic to children and young people across Europe for over 10 years.

The next edition is just around the corner, and the entire world of children’s and youth cinema will gather in Malmö, Sweden, to select the best of the best. Helping in this mission will be our very own Maja, the activity coordinator of the Film in Hospital project, who has the honor of being part of the ECFA jury at this year’s BUFF.

More updates on the winners coming soon, but until then, let’s follow BUFF on all platforms! 😊🎬

Pulica u kaputu, the winter program for children and young audiences organized by the Pula Film Festival and Kino Valli, once again made its traditional stop at the Film in Hospital platform and Pula General Hospital. Each year, our wonderful collaborator and Kino Valli program director, Nataša Šimunov, brings a touch of cinematic magic, and this year was no exception!

This time, Pulica u kaputu presented Todd and Super Stella, the latest winner of the ECFA Award for Best European Young Audience Documentary for Children. But that’s not all—the film was first screened in the pediatric ward of Pula General Hospital before a public screening at Kino Valli! With partners like these, spreading the magic of film is effortless.

For the next two months, the film will be available on filmubolnici.org for free to all hospitalized children and young audiences. Pulica u kaputu runs until March 9, 2025.

About the Film:

Stella hates anything she can’t do and dislikes things that hurt. It doesn’t help that her older brother, Todd, seems to excel at everything and always wants to compete. But being the biggest isn’t easy either—Todd is the slowest runner in his class and is too afraid to dive into the water. He tries to share his worries and fears with Stella, but she’s too young to understand. A humorous and heartfelt look at growing up, filled with fears, sibling rivalry, love, and failed ski trips.

The Film in Hospital project, organized by Djeca susreću umjetnost, is part of the Film in Hospital network through the Seventh Continent program.
