Porto students programme a Film Festival at IndieJúnior Allianz

I programme a Film Festival! it’s an IndieJúnior Allianz section done in partnership with Rivoli Theatre that brings together, for the first time, 3 groups of students from different school cycles who were challenged to programme films for school screenings.

The films selected by the students are presented together with the ones chosen by IndieJúnior Allianz programmers, creating three school screenings that gather the preference of varied generations.

The students have made their choices and they will be at IndieJúnior Allianz to talk with the public about them.

In the school screenings these young programmers will be present at the following three sreenings:
