The JCCA aims to provide a vibrant environment for young people with a structured and systematic opportunity to watch, to understand and even to make films of their own. We are deeply committed to promote film literacy as essential in preparing our younger generation for their adult lives. The JCCA is a modest attempt in this direction.
