11h30 | Centro Multimeios - Sala Polivalente“Citizen Tourist” is a film that portrays a current multi-theme: overtourism, hyper-consumerism, the “Instagrammable” – how social media triggers negative feelings and comparisons between people, such as envy or even greed. In addition, it addresses the hyper-speed of social experiences vs. slow living, the appreciation of the territory, nature and even a more spiritual sense of life.

Pescadores, Silvalde15h – 18h | Bairro da Ponte d'AntaThe Anima VAM initiative is associated with the 49th edition of the CINANIMA Festival, proposing new links for community experimentation in the city of Espinho, with the aim of discussing and highlighting the sense of belonging in the neighbourhoods of Pescadores, Ponte D’Anta and Paramos. Children, young people and seniors experiment with animation techniques, using stop motion, pixilation, rotoscoping and analogue cut-outs, to reflect on where they live, what they experience and how they are perceived.
The experimental workshops stimulate new skills and critical awareness, alongside an increase in film literacy, in a community context, and culminate in travelling screenings and debates in each of the participating neighbourhoods, curated by Anima VAM. The aim is to give a voice to communities, to dialogue and to the deconstruction of perceptions, challenging stereotypes, strengthening ties, while bringing the festival audience closer to practices of cultural inclusion, ultimately finding their place – Espinho.

16h00 | Praça ProgressoThe history of animation in Ireland is unique. In this masterclass, Steve Woods will explain how Ireland went from being a very small industry to becoming a leading country in the production of high-quality, world-class animation.
The importance of state funding, education and the strong involvement of three American animation studios, which migrated to Dublin in the mid-1980s, contributed to this success story.
Illustrated with artwork and clips from classic Irish animations, the lecture will conclude, however, that the real reason Irish animators have created such a wonderful animation industry is because they simply love animation.

11h00 | Praça ProgressoThis presentation explores the ecological dimensions of animated cinema through the works of Norman McLaren and Phidias. McLaren’s emphasis on “what happens between the images” resonates with ecological thinking centred on interdependence.
Similarly, the frieze of Phidias’ Parthenon intertwines figures in a way reminiscent of keyframes, reflecting a holistic view of the world—rather than an anthropocentric one—that aligns with contemporary ecological thinking.

16h00 | UCP - Universidade Católica PortuguesaWhat happens when we turn actual events into fiction?
Kajsa fell in love with the strange story of Titina, a mysterious polar traveller in an airship, and decided to use her as the main character and heroine of her story. By mixing real documentary images with animation, her goal was to tell a story about small feelings in a grand and empty landscape.
Titina is based on a true story, or as he likes to say, an “almost true story”. It is not always easy to decide. Is it possible to treat history fairly in animation? Is it the director’s goal or privilege to make his own interpretation?
16h00 | IPCA - Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do AveIn this masterclass, acclaimed animation film director and illustrator Lucija Mrzljak explores the art of storytelling through her creative process.
Focusing on the interaction between image, sound, and timing, she reveals how visual language, rhythm, and composition shape narrative and emotion. Through examples from her own work, participants gain insight into the creative process and learn how audiovisual elements can convey stories powerfully without relying on words.
18h00 | Centro Multimeios - Sala António Gaio
18h30 | Praça ProgressoBecause this year marks the 30th anniversary of the premiere of the film “Tale about the Cat and the Moon”, which has become a landmark film in Portuguese and international animation, and since Pedro Serrazina’s artistic work as a whole is of great relevance because it is artistically multifaceted, he is the author under analysis in the 5th edition of the Symposium Perspectives on Portuguese Animation.
20h30 | Centro Multimeios - FoyerThe performance starts with two canvases and painting materials from Viarco — materials that enable a constant fluidity of shapes and colours. This will be the theme for a rhythmic symbiosis between painting and sound. The performance will feature two painters, Rita Paupério and Gustavo Sanches, who will start painting simultaneously and will swap canvases when a sound signal is emitted. The pictorial creation will be guided by live sound design by Ricardo Salazar and José Lobo alongside the canvases, in a spontaneous dialogue between sound and gesture. The continuous movement will introduce an unpredictable dance, where the outcome will remain open. The performance Bailado Pictórico is the result of a partnership between Coletivo Salitre + Cinanima + Viarco.
