BYFA is a collaboration-project between NUFF/TVIBIT in Tromsø, Norway and the Regional Fund – Youth House in Murmansk, Russia. The main purpose is to develop youth film activities in the entire Barents region is aiming to organize a informal film-education for young people in the region. The idea grew through long collaboration NUFF has with the youth film environment in Murmansk. Which led to the annual youth film festival 0.1 Megapixel in Murmansk in 2008. This work concluded in goal to focus on the entire region to ensure the competence young filmmakers have reached the work at NUFF and 0.1 Megapixel. BYFA is the opportunity! At NUFF 2010 Megapixel and NUFF arranged a meeting with Martha Otte (director at the Tromsø International Film Festival – TIFF) and Yulian Malakyants (general producer of Polar Lights Arctic International Film Festival in Murmansk, established in May 2010). The meeting ended with a letter of intention on developing BYFA in coming years signed by all four partners. We agreed on a developing process in three phases:
