Short Animation

To promote a discussion about environmental preservation combined with the art of cinema. This is the main objective of the Short Animation project, carried out with students from public schools.

Participants are encouraged to choose a theme, develop the script, scenarios and characters using various materials, under the guidance of specialized teachers and monitors. The launch of the film takes place at the school and in the communities involved, with cinema sessions and outdoor sessions.

By participating in this project, students, teachers and the community collectively participate in a process of learning, social development, cultural inclusion and appreciation of skills. The short films produced in the workshops are entered in national and international awards and festivals with the aim of reaching more and more viewers

THE SECRETS OF RIO GRANDE

With its crystal clear waters, the Rio Grande brings us secrets, beauties and also benefits. It is necessary to keep it clean, without garbage, take care of the springs and preserve the riparian forests so that all this wealth is maintained for many more years. These are some of the themes addressed in the film, which shows that the preservation of the environment begins with small attitudes.
