ELIA has issued a call for proposals for short videos (1 or 3 minutes) within the context of the European Commission’s promotion of multilingualism. The competition is being organised as a contribution to the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009.

We received 122 proposals from students studying at art schools located in 18 European Union member states as well as Norway and Turkey. An international jury has selected 15 scripts that will be announced on our website soon.

In 2007, students from ELIA member schools in seven countries participated in the film project "The Language of the Arts and Intercultural Dialogue". Each contributed a short film that dealt with the theme of intercultural dialogue from their own artistic and personal standpoint. As a learning process for what the artist is up to facing the challenges of the present, the project included several seminars.
Directed by Danish filmmaker Ove Nyholm, the result of this was the 45-minute film compilation ...I see you, which premiered at the film festival in Torino in November 2007. A publication about the project is presently in press.
