How to choose an activity
Ampli_ar Programa de Imaginação Crítica
This option is aimed at people interested in exploring cinema in dialogue with other languages and ways of imagining the world. The workshop examines audiovisual works in formats such as video performance, video dance and music videos, connecting image, body, sound, memory, territory, technology, ancestry and political imagination.
O som da pessoa
Mumutante's workshop uses audiovisual productions from Ceará to explore relationships among music, cinema, the body and other arts. It combines experience and reflection on how sound and image can intersect in the construction of narratives.
Sonharia sonhar: filmes da gaveta
This activity is particularly suited to revisiting audiovisual projects that were interrupted or left unfinished. It consists of 12 hours across three meetings, combining theory, practical exercises, collective analysis and opportunities to present projects, discuss difficulties and receive feedback.
