Once again, 23 Brazilian filmmakers come together for the second Tropical SOV anthology, now exploring sci-fi in humorous stories involving aliens and their space invasions, mad scientists, time travel, dystopias, and a myriad of end-of-the-world scenarios.

A love story, a love triangle that gets soiled with blood with the arrival of a fourth character: a serial killer who collects vaginas. Lesbian couple is chased by lover betrayed in the areas of Weird. Blood and sex in the tradition of the 80's Boca do Lixo films with eschatological scenes and total cinematographic metalanguage.

Symbolicus is an experimental anthology project developed by extreme horror maestro Marcus Koch (100 Tears, AGP: Bloodshock). Assigned with nothing more than a symbol, filmmakers were granted full control and creativity to construct absolutely anything they wanted. Spanning over three volumes and consisting of works from 39 different filmmakers from around the world. Symbolicus defies the boundaries of traditional filmmaking, dismissing the concepts of genre or narrative. Delivering a cinematic experience like nothing you have seen before.

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.

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.

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!

Lloyd Kaufman Goes to São Paulo, Brazil to teach his famous "Make Your Own Damn Movie" Master Class, and while there he meets with the heart of the Brazilian film industry!

"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.

Who is Gurcius Gewdner?

With free eyes, an open heart, good friends and a handful of luck, Gurcius Gewdner revisits some of his adventures of the past five years, survives the relentless Russian winter and asks the following question: How far can an underground Brazilian film go?

In October 2023, the band Os Legais entered the studio to record a new album and Baiestorf made a Cinoise (cinema noise) record of that day.

This is the gripping and brief saga of a young man who claims to be the reincarnation of Gurcius Gewdner. Spiritism, spontaneous combustion, love, mutated chickens, animated credits, copyright and image violations, as well as a skillful use of cinematic language characterize this, which is the best documentary ever made. A critical and public success, it has been banned in over 153 countries. This documentary produced in 2011 perfectly closes this lineup of Gurcius Gewdner's early films, serving as almost a revisiting reflection of a passionate and cynical filmmaker who saw special interest in fake documentaries as a chance to produce films with zero budget, always with the kuchar brothers in his heart. It is also a vote of hope for the emergence of new directors, touched by the spark of creation when watching these films by Gurcius Gewdner in the early 2000s.

Tropical SOV is a Brazilian anthology that brings together 23 independent filmmakers who bring to life 21 hilarious, strange and bizarre stories that could only happen in Brazil. From brains that produce cocaine to the incredible human videocassette, including the secrets of synthetic meat, baldness cures, castration of rapists, nihilistic fruits, magical sweets and the poop king of Evangelistão.

The Gunslinger Nobody refuses to suck a bull's cock in Colonel Bajon's zoophilia movie, and a musical hunt begins.

This little film came up during the composition of "A Nau dos Loucos", when I realized that the dubbing sessions were taking up too much space to not become a film by itself. It's our first day of reading the script and composing the voiceover, first day collectively working on Pazucus, which is when it starts to get really fun. I didn't even know that making this film (these films actually) would be such an amazing experience yet, but I already had a good idea and I was already quite happy to just spend the day recording demented narrations with Marcius Lindner, Mariana Ungaretti (who does not appear in the film, but it provided us with the wonderful sound delirium, the closest I've ever come to seeing a private concert by Diamanda Galás ) and Marcel Mars.

Couple making love in a park in Rio de Janeiro face perverts in search of sex.

"Gurcius Gewdner Show" is the pilot of a nonsense humor program. Presented by the irreverent character that gives the program its title, it follows the comic line of the revolutionary Monty Python´s Flying Circus and South Park, and is full of references to the world of pop culture and information and jokes that deal with such diverse subjects - and with the same greatness of relevance - as the trajectory of Rafael Ilha and the works of famous poets.
