Abstract

This article presents the workshop “Experiencing Literature through Short Films”, developed as part of the extension project “LendoMídias”, associated with the Research Group on Comparing Reading of Media. The initiative aims to integrate literature and cinematographic language in secondary education by adapting literary works into short films produced by students. Initially conceived as a lecture-based activity, the workshop evolved into an interactive practice comprising steps such as reading and textual analysis, scriptwriting, filming with mobile phones, and basic video editing. The activities are aligned with the competences outlined in the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Rio Grande do Sul State Curriculum Framework, promoting skills in reading, writing, artistic expression, and media literacy. The first edition, held in 2023, revealed students' enthusiasm and teachers' engagement, while also highlighting the need for ongoing support throughout the process. In response, the workshop was reformulated in 2024 to extend its duration and ensure the completion of a final audiovisual product. The revised version was presented at an academic event, generating interest among researchers. This experience demonstrates the potential of the proposal as an effective pedagogical tool to articulate literature, art, and technology in public schools.
