About Generation Program

The Generation Program (Mostra Geração in Portuguese) is the segment dedicated to children and teenager at the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival (Festival do Rio) in Brazil. 


Designed for spontaneous audiences, private or public schools and NGO groups, Generation activities are structured in four areas: 

 International: presents professional
feature films prioritizing inventiveness, cultural diversity, language multiplicity as schools interests; 

Teachers’ Meeting: educators occupy a privileged position offering youngsters new ways of and to knowledge, thus we invite them to exclusive movie sessions followed by debates aiming to bring them closer to audiovisual expressions and their pedagogical possibilities; 

Generation Workshops: practical video experiences with our public using accessible technologies; 


Video Forum: where children and young people show their own films and discuss the adventure of creating, expressing their dreams and doubts.
