SPECIAL SCREENING ARNALDO GALVÃO - Brazil















“Souls in Flames”, the hot hardcore love story between a fireman and a dancer let people knew about Arnaldo Galvão, making him popular in Brasil and also noted in other countries. But as he was already a veteran the prestigious Anima Mundi Festival organized a retrospective of his works in 2003. There we could see Dr. Galvão’s self-help classes, a funny author’s alter ego, and also the comic opera rally of “A Political Way Out”.

Regarding, of course, the TV pilot “Rotten & UFO”, the incredible epic story of two nihilists dogs that hardly bark and move themselves even less, the first characters created by Arnaldo Galvão did not move at all: they were at the cartoons and illustrations he made for famous Brazilian newspapers and magazines such as “O Pasquim”, “Movimento”, “Versus” and “Folha de São Paulo”. The Animation Movie caught him in 1980 at the university. Five years later, Galvão started working with Mauricio de Souza, an animation industry pioneer in Brazil, the creator of the celebrated “Turma da Monica” (Monica’s Gang). On television, he was part of “Castelo Ratimbum’s” crew (Ratimbum Castle) and many other successful kids’ programs.

Being very versatile about techniques, genres, artistic languages, Galvão accomplished over 200 publicity films, and also 10 independent shorfilms that showed his satiric personality. The variety of TV pilots on his curriculum shows a strong determination to explore the Animation potential among the television public in Brazil. In 2003, he co-founded ABCA – Brazilian Association of Animation Movie – where he is, at present, member of the director’s board.
