We keep saying IndieJunior is the most fun section of the festival for a reason. In addition to the list of wonderful films of this year’s edition, from all four corners of the world, there are a few special screenings and a lot of unique activities that will take place exclusively during the festival and in which both children and families can spend unforgettable moments.
In terms of special screenings, on May 4th, 16h00 at Culturgest (Grande Auditório), we have Mundo Animado – Film -concert with Casa da Música, where three resident musicians from the Casa da Música Educational Service – António Serginho, Óscar Rodrigues and Pedro Cardoso (Peixe) – bring music to two Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton films live on stage. A moment of creativity and demonstration of talent that can hardly be repeated at another time.
Poland is so much fun! (May 5th, 16h00 at Culturgest – Grande Auditório, and May 12th, 11h30 at Ideal Cinema) is a special screening featuring a number of animated films produzed in 60’s Poland. A real trip across time and a rare opportunity to see films whose originality and inventiveness is inspiring.

In addition to these moments, several workshops and fun activities are also scheduled to make the best out of the creativity of IndieLisboa’s youngest audience. On May 11th, 16h00 at the Galveias Palace library garden, there is a magnificent Picnic on Grass! where children, young people and families can play, listen to music and engage in a lot of activities related to the program’s films.

In Faces and Grimaces! (May 4th, 11h00, and May 12th, 17h00, at the Galveias Palace library garden), parents and children over 3 years old can make a very special book (almost more like a toy) that will give life to characters that do not stop making strange faces.
