IndieJúnior - International Children’s and Youth Film Festival of Porto

IndieJúnior - International Children’s and Youth Film Festival of Porto is an annual event that shows the best Portuguese and international films made by, for or about children and youth. Aiming at education as well as entertainment, the film festival promotes the culture of film watching, media literacy and alternative learning among children and youth. Each year the festival organizes screenings for schools and families, workshops, talks and debates around cinema and special screenings such as film concerts or screenings for babies and their parents. The festival integrates an international competition for feature and short films watched by three juries (official, schools and audience). Several films competing for the awards are selected by students from preschool to high school, which are part of the educational activity “I programme a film festival!”.
