Documentary as a growing and learning experience
Since 2008, the Docs 4 Kids workshop has been working, under the scope of the Doclisboa festival, to bring the documentary closer to children, through watching films, reflecting on and talking about them, along with artistic proposals which bring to life some of the ideas raised by the documentaries.
Where do our eyes reach? How do clouds cross the sky? How fast do waterfalls go? What kind of worms do birds eat? How do we put on a shirt? This workshop will get us "in" two films that invite us to watch - nature, the earth and the hands moving, animals, and the passage of time. From both motion and drawings we shall create new spaces with lines and shapes that put a name to who we really are.
OCT 19 through 28 - Cinema São Jorge
Sous le ciel / Under the Sky
Olivier Dury
6' / France / 2012
Here the presence of the elements is scrutinised with the pointillist precision of an attentive view, scouting the instant when the matter reveals its strangeness: the insatiable fire prolongs silently in the monumental hardness of rock, an icy plain demonstrates unsuspected delicacy when the wind blows up its snowy surface... Suddenly an appearance.
Za Plotem / Behind the Fence
Marcin Sauter
12' / Poland / 2005
"One of the main drives to direct this film was an attempt to return to my childhood days, holidays, and summer heat. I remember those sensations - when the endless number of important details, things to discover, stories to unveil, and subjects to think about would make each day seem to last forever." Marcin Sauter
Coordinated by Maria Remédio
