The aim of the project was to strengthen the film culture and audiovisual creative sector in Rapla County by creating better conditions for implementing community events, film initiatives and youth creative activities.

As part of the project, editing, video and lighting equipment was purchased, which significantly improved the opportunities for organizing local cultural and film events in Rapla County.
