We are six young Danish film makers from Copenhagen School of Film and Photography and six young Palestinians interns for PCPD. After several months of preparation the danish group finally arrived to Palestine, and they will be spending the following months creating three documentaries together with the six young Palestinians. Is it possible that we can meet, in spite of huge differences, such as
culture, religion and life conditions, and create films that reach out to a wide and diverse audience. It is the danish group task to share their competences in film with the Palestinians and to produce three documentary shorts that will tell their personal stories. The thought is that the Palestinians in the future will be capable of expressing their feelings, thoughts and visions though this powerful media. YOUTH:OCCUPIED is a partnership project between Copenhagen School of Film og Photography and PCPD, Palestinian Center of Peace and Democracy. Greetings
Freja, Lars, Anders, Assa, Jo and Rikke
Rana, Linda, Sami, Diana, Saba and Tahreer

Vi er seks unge danske filmfolk fra Københavns Film- og Fotoskole og seks unge palæstinensiske praktikanter, der efter måneders forberedelse omsider er ankommet til Palæstina. Her skal vi de næste to måneder lave dokumentarfilm, med de 6 unge palæstinensere. Er det muligt, at man som ung, kan mødes, på trods af kæmpe forskelle, såsom: kultur, muligheder og vilkår og være kreative sammen og lave dokumentarfilm der rør én og som man kan stå indenfor? Den danske gruppes opgave er, at dele deres filmkompetencer med de unge palæstinensere og producere tre korte dokumentarfilm, hvor de får muligheden for at fortælle deres historier. Tanken er, at palæstinenserne efterfølgende selv bliver i stand til at udtrykke deres følelser, tanker og visioner igennem det stærke medie, som vi elsker og satser på kan blive vores egen professionelle fremtid. YOUTH:OCCUPIED er støttet af Action Aid Denmark og gennem et partnerskab mellem KBH Film- og Fotoskole og PCPD Palestinian Center for Freedom and Democracy
