SPECIAL SCREENING URUBUTRIX - Brazil

“Urubutrix” was born from the idea of joining Matrix and Uruburetama (a small city of Ceará). It began as a parody “zine” (alternative and independent magazine) full of Pop Culture citations and crazy dialogues which were not politically correct at all. Urubutrix was pushed forward, after the encounter between its creator Fernando Santos and the Cannibal World guys, Ricardo and Rodrigo Piologo, that showed him the path to make web animations. With the support of the Movie Animation Unit and the Federal Technological Education Center (CEFET) of the State of Ceará, Urubutrix has been published on the internet for the last two years, showing its uncommon characters. Leaving behind the parody and creating its own stories, Urubutrix has been well accepted by the public, which is waiting for the coming TV Series of this “Anime-Tupiniquim”. Tupiniquim is the name of an indigenous Brazilian group, but it is also used in Brazil as a synonym for national.
Every month new animations can be seen at http://www.urubutrix.com/


FILMOGRAPHY

OPENING - 1´37"
Opening was made by many animators, atracted by the idea of an “Anime-Cartoon-Neo-Tupiniquim”. As soon as Urubutrix substituted the parody for its original stories, it was decided that a Japanese style opening should be made, introducing all the characters.

THE COCONUT GUY - 2´20"
The drunk mascot of the web site meets the Coconut Breaker Guy, the Lord of Breaking Coconuts with the Head. Is it really such an interesting show to the mascot ‘mizifrim’?

ELECTIONS - 2008 – 5´
All kind of politicians were introduced to people, but there is nothing to be compared with these “uruburetamenses” guys and the tiny time of 15 seconds they have to show the changes they are supposed to make in “Uruburetama”, an indolent city in Ceará, even if they don’t figure out what indolent means.

MY BALLS ARE RED - 1´50”
Christmas Day. Everyone is waiting for Santa at home, the one who will bring gifts and joy on this beautiful day, but not everybody is waiting for him. Apolinario, the most ignorant and grouchy old man in the entire universe, is definitely not on the mood to get to know Santa Claus.

PLEASURE ON THE HEIGHTS - 1´34”
The TV Anchorman, Beto Guerra, had a sexual fantasy: to make love under a turned on ceiling fan. Who else could fulfill this fantasy but “Blow-job-ina”. Even in a motel with such a fantasy, something worse could happen.
