The aim of the Plein la Bobine festival and of the association is to educate children to images because it is not always taught at school. These initiatives are supported by French institutions as well as European ones. Children must have the tools to analyze a movie, to learn to step back regarding films. Throughout the year, the Film Festival for Children Association (AFFE) works with three employees, there are screenings in various places (recently there was one at the top of the Puy de Dôme). The association proposes movies not only for children because it has to consider that there are accompanists and an older public. It proposes good films which youth can understand but which can please also adults. The main difficulty is to know which movie to show to different generations who have not the same cultural references. After the screening there are debates, this way the cinematographic tool creates a social link between the generations. More than 30 countries were represented this year during the festival, so there is really an international dimension. The festival wants to let the public discover one new European country thanks to the carte blanche program. This year the Fiuggi Family Festival participated to this program. The idea is to understand how cinema is seen in another country. The festival let people discover things they are not used to see in cinema, heritage movies, avant-première films, there is a real cultural opening.
