Moviement

To promote both physical activity and creativity among young people, Generation Pep and Göteborg Film Festival launched a collaborative project with a long-term goal of engaging youth in film and movement – Moviement.

The aim is to establish an annual project, introducing a new thematic movement each year. The inaugural year, 2021, focuses on dance. The objective is to spark both creative joy and enthusiasm for movement among children and young people, inspiring them to create their own films using dance as a central narrative or expressive element.

The dance-themed Moviement has a digital home at moviement.se. Here, visitors can access engaging, specially produced workshops and guides on creating films using simple, accessible technology. The platform also features a unique dance sequence (part of a choreography) designed specifically for Moviement, which participants can learn and incorporate into their projects.

The platform is accessible nationwide, but workshops and active promotion are primarily focused on Västra Götaland. Skilled film educators from Göteborg Film Festival travel to meet youth where they are—schools, youth centres, esports clubs, and sports associations. Workshops can also be delivered live in digital formats.
