Movies

Punga (Guajuru)
Director
Punga is a hybrid film and series project about the resistance of popular culture in the fictional region of Guajuru. Surrealist and expertimental work that shows what the foreigner and the overwhelming power of capitalism can do with a country that still has originality and dignity. Political and social work about a distant and untouched place.
Subject
Associate Producer
In an attempt to escape from a writer’s block, acclaimed novelist Max Madureira moves to a house near a small, isolated and awkward village. It doesn’t take long for the ideas to come out, but not quite the way he expected: as the writer feels like he’s been living among stories — and not people —, he comes across the mysterious emergence of typed pages in his desk, supposedly written by the previous resident of the house. That’s enough to make Max doubt about his creativity, his sanity and even his own existence.
