From Seven To Seventy
Synopsis: Musa Agun is a master of crafts. He considers the apprenticeship profjession as manual labor that requires skill, tact, and is transmitted with love, labor, and perseverance. He complains about not being able to pass on his profession to future generations because he didn’t grow up to be an apprentice. He expresses that he cannot teach the new generation the master’s works made with labor, and the role of the family is great for the upbringing of the apprentice. Nowadays, apprenticeship problems are experienced in every field where artisanship is tried to be maintained. One of those masters is Musa Agun. All he wants is for apprentices from all age groups to come and teach his profession and keep his profession alive in the years after that. At the same time, Master Musa attributes the failure of apprentices to families. He tells them to work hard for this and to be patient. As Master Musa said, “Where are those old apprentices?”
Musa passion for this job for years comes from the fact that he fell in love with his job. He wants education programs to be of high quality, government agencies to open vocational courses and support such lost professions. Together, he invites the masters to unite, join hands and solve the apprentice issue. ” Come, let’s all experience art together, solve it and produce as much as we can.” he says. He wants to keep art and traditions alive for as long as he can and train good apprentices.

Imbamba: Uthunyiwe’
Synopsis: Imbamba (Uthunyiwe) is an account of black dislocation/sorrow. Through a sound-performance relation in an urban setting, it interrogates the idea of messianic (holy) aesthetics, by way of thinking the Maskandian music form. It makes sense of Maskandian form and its bearing on social decay, its bearing on the contradictory nature of popular culture, politics and the market place. Ultimately, Imbamba (uthunyiwe) is a mode of asking and addressing the seemingly an un-answerable question, ie. whether or not music can condition the possibility or expresses the limits of liberation from politico-cultural domination..
Director Staement: Some songs emerge and find a Maskandi, for instance. They are the Maskandi – not because they want to sound Zulu in remote Kwa-Zulhostu-Natal or at a taxi rank or in a hostel. The hostel and the taxi rank are part of their history, to be sure. An inescapable history that they will want to forget, since a hostel or the rank are a constant reminder of the fact that they emerge from the cracks of life: the ‘urban setting’.

City of Light
Synopsis: “When the city falls dark, the shadows are not just in the corners, they are also in the souls of the people who feel the silence and loneliness in the concrete city. Even so, a light pulses within these people and their movement is what gives strength to a projection of the future. A light that runs through the streets, invades houses and announces a future through light.”

Graffiti com Pipoca
O Coletivo Graffiti com Pipoca é composto por diversas pessoas de diferentes regiões, gêneros e cores, todas elas militantes e produtores de arte e cultura, cada qual em sua individualidade, ou seja, somos produtores, design gráfico, animadores , fotógrafos, editores, roteiristas, grafiteiros, músicos…enfim quando junta todo mundo somos um desenho animado. O coletivo iniciou os trabalhos no ano de 2004 realizando produções de desenhos animados com a técnica do graffiti, além de promover oficinas de desenho animado, graffiti, vídeo e organizar diversos encontros de graffiti, realizar cinema em ruas, escolas e praças.
De 2004 até 2016 todos os anos foram produzidas algumas animações e em 2013 nós ganhamos o Festival Anima Mundi e o Prêmio BNDES como a melhor animação eleita pelo público. Em 2018 ganhamos o festival do minuto dentre outros já que o que nos motiva é a produção de conteúdo e a formação de pessoas.
Em 2008 até 2010 o coletivo fez uma parceria com o JAMAC e realizou durante dois anos oficinas de desenho animado aberta e gratuita para os moradores do Jardim Miriam, onde foram capacitados muitos jovens que hoje atuam na área do audiovisual.
Em 2016 foi realizada a nossa última animação chamada o Fim é o Começo, quando o coletivo não deixou de existir mas os integrantes passaram a desenvolver projetos próprios e interligados, porém todos eles de cunho sócioambiental e mantendo e aumentando as redes de relacionamento e desenvolvimento. Transformamos um sonho, uma vontade numa forma de viver de arte e educação e o que pudemos presenciar que são elementos
altamente transformadores.
Desde 2022 realizamos ativações e projetos, para a produção de mais uma nova animação no Projeto Cidade da Luz, com fotografia light painting que retrata a busca pela descoberta da luz em uma cidade semifictícia de São Paulo. A Jornada da Luz “é uma ode à criatividade, à colaboração e à capacidade humana de transformar o comum em algo extraordinário. É uma celebração da imaginação que ilumina nossas almas e nos guia rumo a um mundo de possibilidades infinitas”.
