“Among the millions of videos on Youtube are the diaries of six teenagers who decided to show the world how to live on their skin. Everyone chose the camera instead of writing a diary to tell their most amusing, sad, confusing stories and we’ve been following them for years through the videos they posted on YouTube – not youtubers, they’re not net stars, they’re just kids talking to anyone who’s willing to listen to them, “read the synopsis of “In my bedroom”, a film already awarded in the director’s home country.
Again with the sponsorship of Allianz, IndieJunior returned to Porto for the third edition, which ends today, with the novelty of programming Cinema de Colo for babies up to 03 years.
