FRAME

The I Am Jury initiative brings together pre-school children, primary pupils, and lower and upper secondary students from school clusters participating in the FRAME project. Each year, the programme provides a short training course introducing participants to the key criteria for evaluating animated films. Following this training, students attend a curated selection from the Great International Panorama – Schools programme and, in groups, select their favourite film.

The training team comprises members of CINANIMA with extensive experience in animation cinema and festival programming, alongside filmmakers, trainers, and teachers from the artistic and multimedia fields: Manuel Matos Barbosa, Isabel Couto, Pedro Perez, João Católico, Paulo Fernandes, Susana Ferreira, Lurdes Natário, and Belmiro Carvalho.

The winning films chosen by the students are announced at the CINAnimada Party, held at Centro Multimeios de Espinho, marking the culmination of a year of activity within the FRAME project.
