JEF in hospital for children with limited mobility
The JEF in Hospital project ensures that children with limited mobility can also enjoy the greatest youth films.
On the user-friendly online platform, they can access the best youth films all year round. During the Youth Film Festival, we put part of the festival program online every year. This way, children can enjoy a unique festival experience from their hospital, rehabilitation centre, or home, and even present an award.
