OUR AUDIENCE
Cinema for children ! Our main target audience are the children of the camp who are offered a specifically designed yearlong screening program.
Although Cinema Zaatari is mostly meant to screen films for children, it is also a place of exchange and communication, helping to create social and intergenerational link within the camp.
This is why part of the schedule of Cinema Zaatari is dedicated to bringing families and elders together, by offering the right screenings and events.
