        StrangerFestival: 1001 Video stories of young Europeans. 

        If you really want to know what makes young Europeans tick go to www.strangerfestival.com. The website contains more than 1000 short video stories made by young people from across Europe. Their creativity contributes in making a new European narrative. The online video archive grows every day.
        Stranger Festival is an initiative of the European Cultural Foundation (ECF).

        Video has an extraordinary power to cross and break borders. To give more young people the opportunity to develop their video making skills StrangerFestival runs video workshops in many European countries.
        An important part of StrangerFestival is research. Theme of the research is the use of new media by young Europeans, and the impact on public space, media and democratic processes.

        “I want to express myself through videos more directly and with less fear. My work is
        going to be more outspoken and personal. Communication is the new art. We don’t
        create videos to hide behind them.”
        Dimitris Tsatsoulis, StrangerFestival participant.
