4th MUMIA - INTERNATIONAL SHORT UNDERGROUND ANIMATIONS

 

 

ARE YOU UP TO IT?

Múmia - Udigrudi* Worldwide Animation Festival

As it is widely known, in ancient Egypt, mummification was used to preserve the corpse of important personalities,such as priests and wise men, by using balsamic substances – a way of sanctifying death as well as life, since what has been preserved in the pyramids and sarcophaguses – mummies, papyruses, decorative objects – constitute a true interface with not only some people’s lives but with a whole civilization.

The Múmia, by analogy, aims at preserving and making public the international production of animated movies,through open shows and panels which present facts and knowledge in the area,often produced by anonymous artists who rarely get paid for their work.Many of the movies which reach us through various ways, from different states in Brazil as well as from different countries in the world, would remain embalmed on the shelves of inefficient festival curators were it not for the cooperative spirit of Múmia, which is open to everyone without restriction.

The Múmia had a ‘fatter cows’ moment in its last edition (2005), when it was recognized by several sponsors, even if only partially. Today, as to its form, it does look more like a true mummy – a skinny, eaten up, feeble, meager individual.

But, in essence, its vitality is even greater, for hunger makes one salivate, become enraged and boiling mad!

It refuses to starve to death. The Múmia is not conniving, it refuses to be sold off to the Establishment. We regret the shortsightedness of politicians and businessmen, who only take into account obsolete media,with their relatively easy success, ensured by the relatively easy demands of those who relish a docile culture.

Someone must hold the stakes for experimentation, insurgency, vitality, criticism and difference!

We need you! And you need fresh blood!

It is not enough to go around criticizing government staff if tax returnable funds are allocated exclusively to official or institutionalized culture.

The moment demands the birth and management of new ideas and initiatives.

Even if they come from sarcophaguses, or from those who have been exhumed from shallow graves.

The 4th Múmia – Mostra Udigrudi Mundial de Animação (Udigrudi Worldwide Animation Festival)presents itself as a resistance movement.

SHOWING OUR FACE:

The Festival is made possible with the support of institutions which are genuinely involved with the production and exhibition of short movies:

CRAV - Centro de Referência Audiovisual de Belo Horizonte / Museu Histórico Abílio Barreto / SESC / Laces / JK Sala Humberto Mauro - Fundação Clóvis Salgado / Festival Internacional de Curtas Metragens de São Paulo

Festival Internacional de Curtas Metragens de Belo Horizonte
Estúdios de animação - ICAIC - CUBA www.curtaocurta.com.br www.kinoforum.org

WE THANK THEM DEEPLY FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
To those who omit themselves, we invoke the curse of the Mummy:
those who paralyze life will be victims of dry and pestilent gangrene!
