9th edition of IndieJunior Porto with record attendance!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The big winners of the 9th edition of IndieJunior Porto (IJP) are \u2018A Menina com os Olhos Ocupados\u2019, by Andr\u00e9 Carrilho (1st edition of the APEI Prize, awarded by the Association of Childhood Education Professionals, worth \u20ac250); \u2018Lola e o Piano Barulhento\u2019 by Augusto Zanovello (Impact Prize, awarded by the University of Porto, \u20ac1,000) and \u2018Francisco Perdido\u2019, by Frederico Mesquita won the Audience Prize worth \u20ac300. The IJP ended this Sunday, 2 February, with more than 8,500 spectators.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a week, from 27 January to 2 February, the 9th edition of the IJP showcased more than 50 short films for children and young people in a festive atmosphere and shared knowledge in community (the central theme). This was the best edition ever with more than 8,500 spectators, including school and family audiences.<\/p>\n

Of the national and international short films in the competition, \u2018The Girl with the Busy Eyes\u2019 won over the jury of the APEI Award (Association of Early Childhood Education Professionals), which was set up for the first time in this edition to reward a film for early childhood. Andr\u00e9 Carrilho’s short film stood out for its \u2018pertinent and sensitive approach to the excessive use of mobile phones, a problem so present in today’s society\u2019, also highlighting \u2018the aesthetic and creative care, where the watercolour seems to take on a life of its own\u2019, as well as the \u2018harmonious fusion of image, sound and music that takes the viewer on an exciting journey of discovery\u2019. The same jury also awarded an Honourable Mention to the short film \u2018Mr Fragile\u2019 by Emilia Miekisz, \u2018for the originality and creativity with which it transforms everyday objects for children, such as building blocks, into narrative elements\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Impact Award offered by the University of Porto went to Augusto Zanovello’s film \u2018Lola and the Noisy Piano\u2019. The jury, made up of academics and young secondary school students, emphasised not only \u2018the charm and tenderness of the story\u2019, but also the \u2018audacity of being able to propose a replicable and even scientific solution, which shows a feasible, humane and sensitive way of integrating into the community\u2019. The Honourable Mention was awarded to \u2018T-Zero\u2019 by Vicente Nir\u00f3, a short film about the problem of housing in the city’s historic centres.<\/p>\n

The Audience Award is chosen by spectators throughout the festival and decided by voting on a ballot paper distributed at the end of the different sessions. This year’s winner was Frederico Mesquita’s fiction film \u2018Francisco Perdido\u2019, the story of a 12-year-old teenager, an unrequited love and a chance meeting that goes unexpectedly wrong.<\/p>\n

This year IJP had 85 screenings and more than 50 films in the theatre. The next edition will be a special one, marking 10 years of IndieJunior in the city of Invicta. There will be many new features and many new discoveries. The 10th edition of IJP 2026 takes place the last week of January 2026.<\/p>\n
