8º Festival de Cinema de Maringá


The 8º Festival de Cinema de Maringá started last friday (20) and this year's edition approachs a very important  subject: Education. It is shown the way education is made in schools, in people's houses and neighborhood, on the streets and everywhere around.
In the agenda, we can find a lot of good stuff, such as short-films, feature-films, discussions on specific themes and workshops about cinema. The films are showing our culture, art and history in a very peculiar way and making every small actor or even ordinary people look like movie stars.
It is a good way to spend the time, especially to see how cinema and education easily walk on the same road.
Pery de Canti organises the festival one more time and, different from the previous editions, it is happening in more than just one place this year. It is possible to watch the sessions in Vila Santo Antônio (on the square), Jardim Alvorada (at the Social Center), Shopping Catuaí and UEM (near Restaurante Universitário). UEM is still the main scenary for the event and the only place where the presentations start at noon and the discussions happen.
In the end of the Festival, all the films compete: there are 35mm and digital short and feature-films, fiction, documentary, animations and experimental films. In 2010 212 films were subscribed, 183 short-films and 29 feature-films; 37 were chosen.
The Festival ends up on May 27th.
