CineMagia

CineMagia – Cinema and Philosophy at the Library is a program for children of all ages that combines fun and learning. With a schedule that intersperses short film screenings with animation workshops and poster creation, CineMagia aims to stimulate creativity and help children think about important values.

On November 2, CineMagia presents, in collaboration with animation filmmaker Catarina Calvino Gil, the workshop “Anima’córnios”. In this animation workshop, we will dive into the world of fantasy. Each child will create their own magical unicorn, filled with vibrant colors and beautiful textures, and watch their creation come to life on paper. This is an opportunity to explore the potential of experimental animation, where splashes, lines, colors, and textures will be the true stars. Come explore the magic of animation and let your imagination soar… with unicorns!

This program is developed by Marta Fiolić and Maria Irene Aparício, from the Cinema & Politics: Philosophical Approaches working group, and by illustrators and animators Catarina Gil and Ana Dias, as part of the activities of the Laboratory of Cinema & Philosophy (CineLab) and with the support of the Laboratory of Dissemination (OutLab) in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut.

Event supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology (Fundação para a Ciência e para a Tecnologia) of the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science under the projects UIDB/00183/2020 and UIDP/00183/2020.
