School Session

The School Session is the Chica Pelega Film Festival's commitment to the audiovisual education of children and young people. We believe in cinema as a tool for critical thinking, sensitivity and dialogue. Screenings are designed for the classroom and include a guided discussion afterwards. Teachers and principals: bring your class to experience cinema together.
