CINEFIL organizes film festivals, screenings, discussions, debates and other activities as part of the existing project “Cinema Úsmev - City Cinema and Audiovisual Culture Centre”. The organization considers it necessary to extend operation, to provide further development opportunities for film enthusiasts. It is important to educate viewers through regular film circles and workshops while opening up to new audiences. The goal is to act more actively as a platform for integrating vulnerable groups, , including Roma into society. Many children from vulnerable groups, have different barriers to getting to culture and this is about to change.
The project is divided into three objectives: more efficient organization (improving management and process efficiency, transparency towards the public and partners, improving funding diversification), improving communication with the city of Košice, private companies, building relationships with project partners and flagging projects (e.g. the SMILE Clapperboard project - educational program for children and youth of vulnerable groups and the 'normal' population, or an open screening project twice a six months adapted for two other vulnerable groups: autism, dementia). Project will organise a presentation on the outputs of the project and the cooperation CINEFIL with the organisations of vulnerable groups and discussion on the topic of "Openness culture". The main objective is to develop the Cinema Úsmev to be accessible to vulnerable groups of any kind. These include the Roma minority, Cinema Usmev closely cooperates with CSOs focused on Roma inclusion, and provides its space to Roma inclusion events.
The Slovak partner organisation Smile at Me is the central partner in collaboration on the project activity Clapperboard Smile. The Norwegian partner, Tou Scene AS is an essential part of the project as a consultant, the provider of the know-how, how to manage cultural organizations, communicate with stakeholders, etc.
