Imperfect Projections Workshop

← All Programming
17:OCT 13h30–15h00 90'
Batalha Centro de Cinema

In this hands-on workshop exploring moving images, participants will experiment with colour, light, sound and editing through the use of 16mm film, Super 8 film and overhead projectors. Working with fragments of Super 8 footage — including animated films, cartoons and found images from different periods — children will discover how moving images can be transformed, combined and reimagined. Through play and experimentation, they will explore how light, projection and sound can create new stories, characters and atmospheres. Along the way, unexpected accidents and creative discoveries become part of the process, as the group collaborates to create a short collective film-performance, bringing together image, sound and imagination in real time. A playful journey into the magic of analogue cinema, where experimentation, collaboration and discovery take centre stage. At the end of the workshop, we will screen the film created during the session.

Tânia Dinis

Tânia Dinis (Vila Nova de Famalicão, 1983) is a filmmaker and artist. Her work unfolds between experimental and documentary cinema, combining archival footage, family memory, performative practices, and relational aesthetics, with a particular focus on stories led by women and on often overlooked labour contexts.

She is currently pursuing a PhD in Fine Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP), where she completed an MA in Contemporary Artistic Practices (2015). Her films have received recognition both nationally and internationally. Notable works include Tão pequeninas, tinham o ar de serem já crescidas (Best Portuguese Short Film at IndieLisboa and Best Portuguese Documentary at MDOC, 2024; Best Documentary at the Rome Independent Cinema Festival and Porto Femme International Film Award, 2025; Audience Award at the Mostra Internacional de Cinema Etnográfico do Museo do Pobo Galego), Laura (Best Film at Arquivo em Cartaz – Brazil, 2017), and Não são favas, são feijocas (2013), which received more than ten awards at festivals including Curta 8, Cortéx, Mulheres do Mediterrâneo, and Dresdner Schmalfilmtage. Alongside her filmmaking practice, she develops artistic creation and research projects such as Operariada, Corpografia, Álbuns de Guerra, Linha de Tempo, and Morada Aberta, in co-production with institutions including DGARTES, CIAJG, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Teatro Oficina, Teatro Experimental do Porto, and Solar – Galeria de Arte Cinemática de Vila do Conde.
