This educational and cultural project was offered to a dozen between nine and twelve years old, from the Specialized Educational Service and Home Care (Sessad). Although they had different disabilities (learning disorders, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism), these children had the necessary resources to share the experience. They have become spectators, directors and programmers in the framework of the "Résistances" festival held in Foix. Whether behind the camera, on the camera, or on the big screen, all were able to express their opinions as well as their emotions. Initially, the children came into the role of programmers by choosing collectively the short films that would make up one of the "young audience" sessions of the festival. During the workshops, the children watched the short films in the conditions of a classic cinema session. At the end of these screenings, the children were able to express themselves: what did they understand, feel, preferred. Secondly, the children participated in co-creation workshops and the objective was to to make a short documentary film. They had to discover everything: the equipment (the camera, the sound boom), the visual components (the frame, the angle of the shot, movement) and sound (speech, sound effects).
