The parallel exhibitions at this year’s Gramado Film Festival have even more space in the program. In addition to the Children’s, Accessible and Cinema nos Bairros selections, the 52nd will feature an exhibition focused on animated shorts. The Petrobras Children’s Exhibition will take six films to municipal schools with themes related to sustainability and the environment. There will be seven sessions, between the 12th and 16th of August.
The schools Mosés Bezzi, Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Henrique Bertoluci Sobrinho, Maximiliano Hahn, Senador Salgado Filho and Presidente Vargas receive the titles The Magic Whale, Auts and Stella, Geração Alpha, The Day of the Inauguration of the World, The Micronauta and The Shark Hammer and the Deep-Sea Dwellers. Sessions for students take place between August 13th and 16th, at two times, at 9:30 am and 2:30 pm.
The exhibition is held in partnership with Ecocinema, a film production company specialized in portraying stories that generate awareness and positive changes in society. The initiative takes cinema to public spaces, democratizing access to the seventh art in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN).
Annually, Ecocinema carries out activities in different parts of Latin America and Spain, totaling thousands of educational workshops and screenings per year, directly reaching almost two million people annually.
In Gramado, mobile units with a photovoltaic solar energy system will be used to project the films. Called solar ships, they are a practical example of the use of renewable energy, popularizing their knowledge among the entire population.
The animations were created with funding from the Petrobras Cultural Program.
