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.

Meteorango Kid – O Herói Integalático, by André Luiz Oliveira, is a cult movie made in Bahia, awarded at the 1969 Brasília Festival and censored by the dictatorship. Meteorango Kid: alive or dead is a documentary about the film and its effects on the lives of other artists. André Luiz and musician Tuzé de Abreu, in the company of friends from the generation who used to go crazy, guide us in this search and reveal the mysteries of the invention of this iconic character of countercultural youth.

Ugly, Me? is a film manifesto made from a workshop for actors called Characters in Search of a Movie, in 'La pa', 'Rio De Janeiro', extended to Paris and 'Kerala' (India). Multifaceted like a kaleidoscope, the characters appear in multi-screens scenes and sequences. The images were captured with different kinds of cameras and Ugly, Me? uses this sign of the variety imposed by independent production as language experimentation. Transposing the boundaries of style, Ugly, Me? navigates in a sea of metaphors, philosophical and musical politics, from Prince Harry to Heraclitus, going through a series of authors like Rimbaud, Brecht, Nietzsche, Bispo do Rosario and Eduardo Viveiros DE Castro, capturing a contradictory and original country.
