Mutant Maniacs

The son of a businessman and his bodyguard are kidnapped by a group of terrorists. With the ransom money they hope to buy more weapons and thus finance the revolution. One of the terrorists, a torturing doctor, decides to use his bodyguard to perform his sexual activities and shoot a snuff-movie. The problems for the group begin when the businessman refuses to pay for his son's life, claiming that he is a bloody drug addict and is worthless. Eliminating the hostage may not be such a simple solution, especially when he refuses to die.

Vomiting Lysergic Slugs

This short exists only for one reason: I wanted to test the possibilities of the iris of a defective VHS camcorder that I had and the fading of the colors that resulted from VHS to VHS copies (this film is not black and white, it is faded color ). As I had no story to film, I improvised as an actor (Braun kept holding the camera for me), I walked from side to side, subtitled the whole thing with a poem I had written on and… Why not show the results of these experiences for everyone who is interested in seeing you.

Black Atlantic: On the Orixas Route

The waters of the Atlantic brought the slaves from Africa to Brazil, their bodies in chains but their souls inexorably tied to mother Africa. This Brazilian- made film takes us to both shores, to show how spiritual life, dance and song came with the captive people and took root in the new soil. Among the many traditions were the language and gods of Yoruba and Jejes from the Republic of Benin. When a group of freed slaves returned to Africa to rediscover their roots they were looked upon as outsiders. They became tradespeople - tailors, accountants and builders- and they actually brought Portuguese culture to Africa. Today, when Brazilians revisit Africa, they teach the Africans the culture that these descendants of slaves keep alive in Brazil. The documentary is a testimony to some of the ironies of the diaspora.
