Guaíba, birthplace of the Farroupilha Revolution, has been consolidating itself as the birthplace of new filmmakers. For 20 years, it has held the National Student Film Festival, which opens space for productions from all over Brazil and abroad and aims to encourage audiovisual production as a pedagogical activity linked to the school curriculum. This Festival is a pioneer in Brazil in encouraging the use of audiovisual as a pedagogical practice, integrating students and teachers in film production.
