Young Audiences:
ColCoa
Beginning in 2008, ELMA and COLCOA created the opportunity for high school students to experience a foreign film - many for the first time. In 2009, these special screenings drew 2,200 students from 40 local high schools.
We expect this year will bring as many and are also proud to be partners with COLCOA in introducing a masterclass to students, who will get a chance to have a direct discussion
with a filmmaker of choice.

Seminars and classes:
Seminar on the influence of European Film Movements
Wednesday May 21st, 2008, at 7:30pm at the Aero theater.
What inspires the visual and narrative construction of a Scorsese, Yimou, Lynch, Miyazaki, Coen or Dardenne Brothers film? European film movements
of the 1920s to the 1990s have often been cited as focal points to understanding the work of our reigning masters of cinema. Whether it is through Italian Neo-Realism,
French Poetic Realism, French New Wave, ’70s New German Cinema or Dogma 95, this seminar, led by film consultant Thomas Ethan Harris, will help you to understand the
founding principles of each revolutionary European film movement and how important each is to the design of cinema today.

Resource Center
We hope to establish a resource center in Santa Monica for the public to gain easy access to a wider variety of European films.
