The Italian partner – Nuovo Fantarca – has developed Hidden Cinema, a browser game based on the Hidden Object gamification mechanic, which consists of introducing a type of puzzle where you need to pay attention to locate hidden objects within a static area.

In this game, the player wanders from one place to another to discover objects that alow the player to finish the game. Each object refers to a Movie. The player climbs the leaderboard based on their progress.

After a row out on the yard the neighbors, the 10 year olds become friends.

Film in Hospital spreads the word! The CultureForHealth Report was presented at the Arts & Culture for Health & Health for the Art & Culture Conference on April 20 in Ljubljana; Slovenia.

The main focus of the conference was double: Firstly as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the formalisation of Asociacija (a national network advocating for independent arts and culture) and secondly to underscore the effects culture and the arts have on health and well-being. The conference built on the findings of the CultureForHealth report with recommendations for policy-making. The program featured presentations of inspiring national and international projects and initiatives that demonstrated in practice the positive effects that culture and the arts have on health and well-being.

Our Slovenian partner, Kinodvor, gave a wonderful presentation about Film in Hospital!
