What you need to know

Pick Monstrinha sessions for kids; the competition screenings are programmed for a mostly grown-up audience
Cinema São Jorge is the hub, where most screenings and events happen, a short walk from Avenida metro
Exhibitions and workshops too, a good option when a full film session is too long for a younger kid

About

MONSTRA is Lisbon's animation festival, running since 2000, with hundreds of animated films from around the world plus exhibitions and workshops. Its kids' strand, Monstrinha, screens animated films for children, with sessions for schools and for families. It suits kids who already sit happily through a cinema session. Much of the main program is aimed at grown-ups, so younger viewers do best in the Monstrinha sessions.
