What is the IndieJúnior for schools?
The IndieJunior schools have a program offering short and long feature films, documentary and animated film for the various age groups of school groups, including preschool, 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles and secondary.
The films are carefully chosen to match the interests, problems and inspirations of each age group, with the aim of establishing a communication relationship between work and student, leaving space for debate and reflection at school, at home and in life .

Are the films in Portuguese? Are they subtitled?
Movies intended for children from the 1st cycle and + 7years, when they are in a foreign language, are subtitled in Portuguese, with care being taken to be films that do not have complex dialogues.
In all other ages, all foreign language films are subtitled in Portuguese.
Does the audience also vote?
How the films are selected?
Filmmakers enter their films and programmers watch all of these films, choosing those who will later compose the festival program. Afterwards, the directors are contacted to confirm the film and send it, so that it is projected in the cinema, in the session that is most appropriate in terms of theme and age group. This process is sometimes time-consuming, which means that the closing of the programming sometimes takes place after the beginning of the inscriptions. But it’s worth it because the movies are wonderful!
