Gurcius Gewdner
Rodrigo Fonseca, Marcius Lindner
The exploratory voyages of man to Mars began in 1988. Most astronauts returned from space travel mad or with mystical delusions. As long as total secrecy was maintained, a select group of journalists spread across the planet were aware of these excursions, among them some journalists from the staff of O GLOBO. The astronauts reports are rare, but constant and delivered in two ways: audio reports and footage of the field trips, starring the brave Brazilian astronaut Erivaldo Mattüs. With the mysterious disappearance of our hero from Alagoas, the time has come for some of these reports to come to the attention of the public, through the infallible archives preserved by Gurcius Gewdner.

Manifesto Canibal: O Filme
Petter Baiestorf
Coffin Souza, Petter Baiestorf
In 2002 Petter Baiestorf launched the fanzine "Manifesto Canibal" with notes on how to produce films independently without any resources. In 2004 the anarchist publisher Achiamé ordered an expansion of the fanzine to be published in book format and, thus, the book "Manifesto Canibal" by Petter Baiestorf, Cesar Souza and intervention by Carli Bortolanza appeared. In 2007, already out of print, Petter Baiestorf decided to film the book in the format of an experimental short and what follows here is the result of this iconoclastic experience that kills the gods of cinema.
Manifesto Canibal - How to Make Movies in Times of Crisis and Chaos
Bom Dia Carlos
Gurcius Gewdner
Carlos finds himself troubled by a powerful restlessness. At the same time his analyst is obsessed with the idea that he should delete Carlos in order to save his island. An island is, by excellence, a troubled territory. Piece of land separated off the mainland or territory emerging and arising from the center of the world shocks : re- integrate into the sea is the ghost that haunts all the islands. There is in this tense relationship between sea and island, an opposition between civilization and destruction, shape and inform, culture and chaos united in a loving and eschatological tribute to Carlos Reichenbach, Lucio Fulci and Andrzej Zulawski.
Good Morning Carlos
Texas Carlos Massacre
Gurcius Gewdner
Phil Anselmo, Autopsy
Guided by his doctor (or is it voices in his head?), a young director is given a mission: to go to Texas to make an abstract roadmovie (“Unfocused film! Focus is repressed!”) about the Housecore Horror Festival of Film and Music, a festival that brings together cinema and extreme music.

O Colírio do Corman Me Deixou Doido Demais
Ivan Cardoso
Ivan Cardoso, Roger Corman
A totally Cardoso-appropriated footage delirium, done as a tribute to US independent cinema's original rebel. In the end, Corman himself blesses Cardoso by saying: "You blended horror, sex and humour very well. And particularly the editing is very good because the film never lagged or slowed down". Which film? This one!

3 Cortes
Fernando Rick, Kapel Furman
Gurcius Gewdner, Fernando Pavão
"3 Cortes" is a collection of three gore-filled shocking short films from three Brazilian filmmakers. The first story, "Sozinho", is about a man meeting up with a young woman he met earlier in the day. When he gets to her place, she has a special surprise in store for him. "Coleção de Humanos Mortos" is the second story, and in it a young man is plagued by his inner demons, pushing him to satisfy his desire to inflict pain on others. Finally, in "06 Tiros, 60ml" a man wakes up to find himself trapped inside a hospital with blood-soaked faceless monsters and must do what he can to escape, even if that means killing every monster or person he comes across.

Pazucus: A Ilha do Desarrego
Gurcius Gewdner
Marcel Mars, Gurcius Gewdner
In the wild island of Pazúcus, everything is hopeless. Oréstia & Omar seek to harmonize their relationship in a camp and find themselves gradually oppressed by nature, which changes from paradisiac to hellish. Simultaneously, inside Carlos’ intestines, fecal monsters plot his demise. This stomachic confusion makes him an easy prey for the obsessive Dr. Roberto. The paranoia, the sorcery, the madness and the prophetic voice lead their destinies to a place where the dissolution of all beings appears to be the only possibility of communion.

A love story, a love triangle that gets soiled with blood with the arrival of a fourth character: a serial killer who collects vaginas.
