What are the development stages of a Kino Klassika project?
Kino Klassika programmes emerge from strategies that help us identify a theme we want to draw attention to, the kind of programme we want to accomplish and how we that programme can achieve maximum impact.
This involves navigating between the different agendas of advisors, participants and audiences to create programmes that deliver new, relevant research with clear and accessible narratives to stimulate the curiosity of new and returning audiences.
There are three key phases to defining our major goals and identifying a clear path to achieving them:
Research and development
Execution
Impact evaluation
