Interactive Film Festival for Children in Peru
The Prince Claus Fund supports the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP) for organizing an interactive film festival for children. PUCP is an academic community, inspired by ethical principles and Catholic values, that creates and disseminates culture, learning and knowledge, a promoter of change.
The university has a film archive (The Film Archive of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru) that is the most important and complete film archive in Peru. The Interactive Film Festival for Children, that is proposed by Film Archive PUCP, seeks to promote the cinematographic art among the youngest audiences in Lima, Peru, giving special attention to children living in the periphery of the city who have limited access to film screenings.
The projects exists of different phases in which the children will learn about film. Seven weeks of interactive workshops develops the knowledge of children about films, making them learn about genres, film narrative, art direction, etc., through a playful and didactic approach. These seven weeks cumulate to an exhibition week that is called "Exploradores del Cinema", taking place from 29 November to 3 December 2011, in which the results of the workshops are showed.
The Prince Claus Fund supports the PUCP for its project will promote the spreading of culture (in this case, cinematographic culture) in an environment which lacks access to arts and where formal education does not involve a critical approach to movies. Therefore, a critical sense and an artistic sensibility will be developed not only among the children who will participate in the workshops, but also among the audience of the exhibition week, which will have place in decentralized venues across the city of Lima.
