The Ouro Preto Film Festival and the Kino Network – Latin American Education, Cinema and Audiovisual Network promoted a broad remote public consultation, prior to the in-person meeting, to update and expand the proposed regulation of Federal Law 13,006/14, which determines the exhibition of two hours of Brazilian cinema per month in basic education schools. A form was created which was answered by a community made up of educators, public managers, filmmakers, preservation professionals, researchers, teachers and those interested in implementing a public policy that guarantees the implementation of the Law. Based on the responses received were Four Working Groups (WG) in person during the XIX CineOP. With the participation of cultural and educational professionals and representatives of the Ministry of Culture (MINC), representatives of the Ministry of Education (MEC) and Ministries of Human Rights (MDH), the Working Groups prepared a document with a proposal that aims contribute with parameters and guidelines for the construction of a National School Film Program.
Therefore, the public discussion of the Program was divided into two stages. In the first stage, an online action was previously carried out with the consultation to update and expand the proposed regulation of Law 13,006/14.
The questions on the form aimed to collectively build a document that would point out the necessary elements for cinematographic practices in school contexts, respecting the diversity of territories and valuing the circulation of cultures and films that make up the country. The second stage designed was the face-to-face action with the institution of the four Working Groups (GT), formed around the following topics: Teacher training; Production and exhibition conditions; Collections and curators; and Pedagogies.
Through their own notice, the public present at the Exhibition was able to register to take a seat in the four GT. In addition to the WGs, debates were included in the program of the event open to the public. The WG meetings took place on June 19 and 20, in Ouro Preto.
Regarding the methodology adopted by the WGs, on June 19, the first day of work, the WGs met in the Education Meeting auditorium for an initial presentation on the work dynamics and, subsequently, each WG met separately to systematize the main issues resulting from the broad public consultation that guided the debate at that first moment.
