Animation is often labelled “for children” without asking which children. This session introduces the Young Audience Rating System, a practical tool that connects the developmental characteristics of each age group, from toddlers to late adolescents, with the elements that shape an animated film: story, characters, emotions, visual language and humour. Media psychologist Martina Peštaj explains how attention, emotional understanding, moral reasoning and the sense of humour change with age, and what this means in practice. Aimed at creators, producers, distributors, broadcasters and festival programmers working with young viewers. The Young Audience Rating System was developed within the project Animation HUB. Speakers: Martina Peštaj (media psychologist), Lucia Dubravay Trautenberger (Animation HUB) Martina Peštaj (media psychologist) Martina Peštaj is a Slovenian media psychologist and film currator specialising in children’s and youth media.

One of such perspectives is represented by the artists with Down Syndrome, such as the Atelier Normalno community members. For some of them, video became a tool of emancipation. They use the aesthetics of advertising, television and cinema to create moving images art that is a sharp reaction to everyday topics. During the discussion, artist and co-curator of the Atelier Normalno Stanislav Turina and cinema historian and director Stanislav Menzelevskyi will reflect on how artists with disabilities convey modernity, what characters and issues they choose to convey their feelings, how inclusion can be present in culture and the role that video as an artistic instrument plays in it.
