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

February means festival-time for the Belgian Film in Hospital partner; JEF! We bring this festival feeling to all platforms of all partners. Our 10 selected short films in competitions are to be watched a whole year long in all participating hospitals and revalidation centers. And moreover, Belgian viewers become jury members. They vote for their favorite short film and hand out the JEF in the hospital award.
This year (2024), the winning short film is…. Princess Aubergine by Dina Velikovskaya (Germany).
Congrats Dina! Go watch the short film on one of our platforms.

Il Nuovo Fantarca (Italian partner) and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore ran in 2022/2023 a research activity aimed at investigating the main elements of the Film in Hospital experience in order to provide each partner of the project with useful indicators to optimise the composition of the catalogue of titles on the platform.

To this aim, the research project identified the following objectives:

1) Survey the general conditions of the experience of viewing audiovisual products on the platform.

2) Identify the elements that qualify the fruition of audiovisual products on the platform from the point of view of its functions and capacity for involvement.

3) Relate these qualifying elements to the titles and, more generally, to the entire catalogue offered by the platform.
