Ciranda was born in 2014, as the first film festival focused on education and childhood in Brazil. Co-produced by Instituto Alana, Circuito Cinearte and Aiuê Produtora de Conteúdo, and sponsored by Instituto Alana and Intituto Península, the first edition of the event lasted for more than three days in São Paulo, and included film exhibitions as wells as discussion circles divided into three topics: birth and childhood, learning spaces, and transformative movements.
