Müürileht’s Young Film Critics competition

Attention, film aficionados! The world of cinema is brimming with glamour, blood and tears, it has given us food for thought and interpretation since its first black-and-white screenplays to the pretty pink hotels of Wes Anderson, and film reviews are nowadays read more than ever. It is once again time to call out the annual Müürileht’s Young Film Critics competition. The participants are presumed to possess humour, curiosity, great writing skills, clear opinion and all-around proof that you know what you are writing about. A young film critic is defined as someone who dares to claim so.

Toeta vastutustundlikku ajakirjandust

Infoajastu ja sotsiaalmeedia levik on toonud endaga kaasa aina kiiremad, lühemad ja emotsioonipõhisemad tekstiformaadid ning sellega seoses ka süvenemisvõime kriisi. Nendest trendidest hoolimata püüab Müürileht hoida enda ümber ja kasvatada ühiskondlikult aktiivseid ja kriitilise mõtlemisvõimega noori autoreid ja lugejaskonda. Toimetuse eesmärk on mõtestada laiemalt kultuuri- ja ühiskonnaelu ning kajastada lisaks nüüdiskultuuris toimuvat. Väljaanne on keskendunud rahulikule, analüüsivale ning otsingulisele ajakirjandusele, mis ühendab endas nii traditsioonilised kui ka uuenduslikud formaadid. Sinu toetuse abil saame laiendada kajastatavate teemade ringi ja avaldada rohkem väärt artikleid.
