NIEBLA
Direction: Julian Arias | Belgium | 0:04:22 | 2019

Surrounded by mist you are lost. Time and space vanish, and all that remains are fragments of sound and images, of a story, of a dream or of a memory.

3 WOMEN
Direction: Katchatrian Alisa | Belgium | 0:06:01 | 2020

In a dystopian world, three women share their life paths until they no longer do.

LIKE DROPS ON A BED OF EMBER
Direction: Juliette Pons | Belgium | 0:09:00 | 2023

A mesh of brave figurines advances towards cracked lips a grinding smile, a glowing fever the outlines of their shadows oscillate their bodies at rest, pushed forward by an arm fade like drops on a bed of embers

WOULD YOU PLEASE?
Realização: Ada Güvenir | Belgium | 0:04:31 | 2020

From the Heart of the Balkans: A Creative Journey
 Curated by Nikola Majdak, Ana Nedeljkovic – Serbia

The Cake
Direction: Daniel Šuljić | Croatia | 00:08:15 | 2010

A group of people are celebrating, sitting around the table. The celebration cake is served, but unevenly divided among them.

Father 
Direction: Ivan Bogdanov | Bulgaria, Croatia | 00:16:07 | 2012

When did you last talk with your father? Will you ever ask him about those things that hurt you?

 

Demonstration of Brilliance in Four Acts 
Direction: Lucija Mrzljak and Morten Tšinakov | Croatia | 00:14:00 | 2018

The people are waiting for someone special. Someone special is born – a grown-up man in a suit. They follow the man and cheer for his theatrical but utterly pointless performances. In the middle of one performance he makes a mistake and the people who have so far adored him, leave. Left alone, he meets a woman who is made for him. The theatrical performances continue…

 

Remember How I Used to Tide a White Horse 
Direction: Ivana Bošnjak Volda and Thomas Johnson Volda | Croatia | | 00:10:00 | 2023 

A waitress goes about her daily routine serving coffee whilst having thoughts of escaping her reality. A costumer is constantly recording and listening back to the surrounding sounds of the café and is completely fixated by this task. Apathy is a condition that leads consciousness into stagnation, but do either of them realise that they are themselves examples of this condition?

Musical Traumas 
Direction: Miloš Tomić | Serbia | 00:10:00 | 2018

Musical Traumas came to fruition as the result of the director’s obsession with music schools. It is a rhythmic compilation of traumatic, but amusing confessions of former students, as well as an attempt to visualise music with scrumptious, hand-drawn animation. The experiences may be documentary, but the image comes straight from the world of musical impressions.

 

Untravel
Direction: Nikola Majdak Jr and Ana Nedeljkovic | Serbia | 00:09:00 | 2018

A girl lives in an isolated country, enclosed by a huge wall. She has never traveled anywhere, but all her life she has dreamed of leaving forever for a perfect world called Abroad.

PNA/CINANIMA Digital Cultural Backpack Film-debate #LINGO
 The challenge of growing in the age of social media

This initiative between CINANIMA and the National Arts Plan (PNA) will include a screening and study of the film #Lingo by Vicente Nir (Daniel Vicente Roque), which will serve as the backdrop for a discussion on “The Challenge of Growing Up in the Age of Social Networks.” This session invites all secondary and high school students to think on their reliance on social media.

Helena Teixeira da Silva, a journalist, is going to moderate the debate, which will include:

– Daniel Catalão – Journalist/University Professor
– Daniel Roque – Director of the short film #LINGO/Animator and Illustrator
– Diana Alves – University Professor/Clinical Psychologist
– José Alberto Rodrigues – University Professor/Member of CINANIMA
– Students from schools in Espinho

 

One of the projects we have developed for people who want to enhance their understanding of animation film is the presentation of the RE:ANIMA master’s course. This presentation will include a conversation on the various views for the future of animation education in Europe, in addition to the presentation of this master’s curriculum. Geert Van Goethem, João Miguel Real, Paulo Viveiros, and Steve Malliet will be among the panellists.

This Master, taught by three Universities in Belgium, Finland and Portugal, is oriented towards a diverse and artistic approach to the field of Animation. It envisions the creation of an international community of animators who establish multiple links and create a network for future professional projects. The inclusion of different forms of expanded animation in the programme is a new curricular feature which does not exist in the traditional animation programmes that are usually oriented towards short film production with a narrow focus and specialization in animation techniques.

Expanded Animation – From Performative Animation to Virtual Reality Animation

Trainer: Luís Leite

This training workshop seeks to promote dialogue and critical thinking about the representation of patterns and stereotypes in animated film, with the creation and growth of characters serving as a starting point. First, we will interpret and discuss several instances to make the group aware of the prejudices prevalent in character portrayal in popular and contemporary animated cinema. Following that, we’ll conduct a variety of drawing and illustration exercises to investigate and fight creative tendencies that perpetuate harmful or reductive stereotypes. We will demonstrate how we can study other languages and develop new meanings with the children through these tasks.

FORMAnimada is a meeting open to anybody who is interested in the junction of animation film and education, and who wants to use animation cinema as a pedagogical and creative instrument today or in the future.
This seminar will provide an opportunity to share approaches, strategies, and expertise collected over the years about practices implemented in formal and non-formal educational contexts, with animation cinema serving as a backdrop.
Professor João Católico will moderate the meeting, which will include the following participants:

• Anilupa – Associação de Ludotecas do Porto: Fernando Saraiva
• Cine Clube de Viseu: Graça Gomes
• Casa Museu de Vilar: Abi Feijó
• CINANIMA, FRAME Project – Children F1rst : Carolina Bonzinho e Inês Costa

The Exhibition visits a century of Portuguese Animation Cinema, providing a unique perspective on its history and evolution. Through emblematic objects, such as drawings, photograms, cameras, optical devices and other artifacts, this Exhibition invites visitors to delve into the memories and records that encompass the past and present of the national animation cinema. Thematically structured, the exhibition carefully presents artifacts selected from institutional partners and CINANIMA’s collections. This is a must-see journey that unveils the wonders of Portuguese Animation Cinema, as well as the processes and techniques involved in its creation.

Get to know Portuguese animations created by women.

“Estúdio 100” constitutes the filmic part of the Exhibition and offers the viewing of films that, for various reasons, are important for the history of Portuguese Animation Cinema. It proposes a discussion about them, as in cineclubs, expecting that, in some sessions, authors may participate.
