Correspondências

Since September 2025, the association has been carrying out the Correspondências project. The goal is to forge intergenerational connections through film - from viewing to hands-on creation, groups of different age groups (children, teenagers, and seniors) are invited to create “film letters” about their lives and the places they call home.

From drawing to sound recording, the project aims to promote new forms of artistic expression, contributing to the building of a more attentive, supportive, and cohesive community. It involves the participation of the Passos Manuel School Group (9th grade from Passos Manuel High School and 3rd grade from São José Elementary School), which engage with the day centers located near the schools—the Laura Alves Center and the Santa Catarina Center. 

Letters are exchanged between these groups about the past, present, and future - introductory messages, letters to the city, and memory letters - which form a shared journal. Building on this correspondence, the ultimate goal is to make a film together, where everyone can try out different roles in film production—sound, cinematography, production, and directing. The project will culminate in two short films as the result from this human and artistic process.
