Description
“Insuflar Cinema” is a 12 months project to be implement in Ovar municipality. In a first moment 18 students from Multimedia Vocacional Education (ages 16 to 18) will be involved in a Cinema Club and will discuss and explore several short-movies films, selected by a collaborative curation between our team and world-wide cinema festivals, encompassing all forms of cinema and the best quality movies committed to democratic values. In a second moment, an itinerant Inflatable Cinema will rotate in all schools of Ovar, for children ages 3 to 10 years old. Each session will be followed by informal debates on the themes addressed by the films. This task will be conducted by the 18 students involved in the Cinema Club, introducing the themes and, through this exercise, foster reflection, memory and knowledge on them. The project aims to sow in each individual the seed of a growing infant, or adult, by conceptualizing that Otherness and Equality are the roots of Democracy.
