Boovie® 2023 is ON!

What is Boovie?

Built as a festival, Boovie proposes a new way of approaching books, by transforming them into book-trailers by teams of students, coordinated by a teacher.

It is addressed to both highschool and middle school students and it involves:

creating a team of 6 to 11 members
making a trailer based on the proposed book, after reading it (screenplay, directing, acting, editing, etc)
evaluation of the final product by a specialized jury, who will determine the winners

What do we believe in?

We believe in students, in their potential and their need to grow, beyond the limitations imposed by school.

Through Boovie, we support students' personal development and we promote:

- conscious reading and multimedia expressiveness
- self initiative
- self-sufficiency
- creativity
- the use of all types of intelligence
- the ability to come to an agreement
- interpersonal and intrapersonal communication
- non-formal learning

Online, Boovie Festival is active on social media platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, but also on the website www.boovie.ro

Books in contest

Three apples fell from the sky

A world where characters and events shape a symbolic reality, drawn from the details of everyday life, a late love that saves the world, a stone village on top of an Armenian mountain, where magic and mystery have kept their powers untouched. With sumptuous imagination and meticulous attention to the finest details, Narine Abgarian builds a universe in which the reader wants to linger long after the story is over.
