Jeanette Schjerva | Kids Kino – Network of Children's Cinemas in Sweden

The network of children's cinemas in Sweden – Kids Kino – aims to celebrate and highlight young audiences, expand the range of films on offer, and increase the audience engagement of children and young people. Jeanette Schejrva will present this model of a children's cinema network, which helps cinemas across Sweden find a wider range of films for young audiences and create a welcoming environment for them in the magical world of cinema.

As Commissioner for Screenings & Festivals at Film i Skåne, a regional film fund in Sweden, Jeanette Schjerva supports a variety of film festivals and cinemas in the region. She provides advice to municipalities, filmmakers, organizers, and event planners on projects and events related to screenings. She also leads several networks in the region and is part of interregional and national networks, arranging workshops and skills development. She's obviously a film nerd who particularly enjoys talking about 'fantastic films,' and believes that every form of cultural expression is a seed you carry with you, which can start to grow at any moment into something unexpected.
