Aula de Terror is the educational activity section organized by the Festival since a couple of years ago with the aim of encouraging knowledge of cinematographic language and film genres both to students of the education centres and citizens in general.

Aula del Terror’s activities are organized in a face-to-face format during the Festival, and online contents are also offered online in TerrorMolinsTV and TerrorKids.

Aula de Terror falls into the Festival’s global goal of offering audiovisual contents of quality, to encourage cinematographic training to citizens and students from elemental and secondary education centres. The same as the TerrorKids section aims at familiar and child leisure.

Since 2009, more than 4000 upper secondary school students, from different towns of Baix Llobregat, have enjoyed the short film section for secondary schools.
