Fest of Fests is an initiative to connect the international network of youth film festivals, as well as academic and educational institutions leading the design and implementation of film literacy programs, and international and national media education policy-makers.
The Fest of Fests Launch Forum was held on June 25-28, 2018, at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens. 65 experts from the sectors referenced above participated in presentation and discussion groups around how to develop “screenwise” young viewers, as well as the launch of the “Screenwiser” platform. The new platform, developed under the scientific auspices of EKOME S.A., will be the virtual forum for keeping the discussion going and bringing in new voices, while developing film literacy education tools recommended by the community. 
The Foundation has renewed the invitation for 2019, with the vision to expand and further cultivate the critical capacity of “screenwise” users to interpret, analyze and create audiovisual stimuli. This will advance the audiovisual industry and, more broadly, the information society.
The global map of film education actions is highly segmented. It features multiple stakeholders and a wide variety of frameworks and approaches, from various professions – the audio-visual and media industries, governments, and the education community. Therefore, the focus of the Screenwiser platform is to use social networking and communication to share initiatives, experiences and innovations toward creating screen-wise viewers with deep knowledge of cinema.
