For film lovers aged 8 to 110, Batalha's new course includes six chapters that cover the history of the seventh art, from the first attempts to represent movement to the present day. Each chapter, with independent enrolment and attendance, includes theoretical and practical sessions, film screenings and even guided tours of very curious places. This course is coordinated by Miguel Ramos.

Chapter II — From talking machines to voyages through sound
Knowing as we do that sound is the propagation of a mechanical wave invisible to our eyes, we can imagine that for those who first tried to control the waves with machines, the task must have been as difficult as capturing the wind with bare hands. In this chapter, with guidance from Bárbara Carvalho, we will discover the first sonic machines and learn how they came to the cinema. We will pass through the Fonoteca do Porto and watch a film full of sonic tricks by the duo Von Calhau!

Aimed at: children aged 8 and over, parents, grandparents and friends
Schedule: 18 Jan, 1 Feb, 15 Feb, 15:15
