The ThinkFilM project is a Youth Initiatives project organised by the „NaFilM“ group, which was founded by students within the Masters program at the Department of Film Studies in Charles University in Prague. The initiators of the project have engaged in the research of film education and the public presentation of national film heritage for the past five years. The ThinkFilM project builds on a previous project entitled „Czech Film Museum“ and extends it to the international level with the participation of project partners from Germany, Poland and Great Britain. The Czech Republic is one of the few countries within Europe whose national film heritage is not publicly accessible. The uniqueness of the project lies both in its output, the conception of the form of the non-existent Czech Film Museum, and in the international outreach that adds value and outside expertise to the final concept.The aim of the project was to map the existing procedures used in film education for youth and in the public presentation of cinematographic heritage and then use the acquired knowledge for finding innovative practices that improved upon the established practices. A major benefit of each of the project partners was the creation of their own filmic-education project for youth, which will correspond to the specific needs of the country (exhibition, VR interactive installation, publication, symposium). These works were subsequently interconnected in project‘s output – in the concept of the Czech Film Museum, an institution that will provide informal film education and public presentation of the national cultural heritage in the Czech Republic.The project partners involved students and academics from foreign universities and these experts and practitioners were invited for consultation. Each of the project partners created a project group and have chose two to three members to coordinate the project in each of the partner countries. During the first year of a larger research project they have created a complete team comprising different numbers of students. Together they established cooperation with relevant institutions in their own country. The partners communicated with each other through internet channels. Project group meetings took place within each group and at the international level as well. At the same time, the results of the project were consulted with representatives of film institutions. We also organised meetings with the main target group representatives, which allowed us to verify the created procedures and obtain feedback.The impact of the project lies firstly in the field of film education for youth, in which the project sought to improve the quality and innovation of established practices, and secondly in the presentation of film heritage, in which we were seeking for ways to modernise the presentation of relevant filmic culture to the general public.In the long run, the project primarily succeeded in the establishment of creative and intensive cooperation between the partner universities and institutions involved. Together we not only achieved the main aims of the project, but we will keep on improving the quality of film education within our following activities in the future. Equally important was the impact of the project on the personal and professional development of the participants. We plan to continue our collaboration and by doing so to make film education more accessible to young people as well as to make national cultural heritage publicly available at the national and international level.
