Two-time Oscar nominee Bill Plympton has boarded the series “Guard Dog & Bill Plympton in Brazil,” directed by Brazilian animator Cesar Cabral.
Cabral’s stop-motion “Bob Spit: We Do Not Like People” won best feature at the Quirino Awards last May.
Currently in pre-production, “Guard Dog” follows the celebrated over-anxious or just neurotic yellow canine of te title alongside his creator Plympton. “The series’ general idea is to bring Guard Dog and his owner –in this case Plympton himself – to tour Brazilian cities and draw their tourist and artistic impressions of our country,” director Cabral told Variety.
The Coala Filmes and Cup Filmes co-production is backed by Federal incentive body Fundo Setorial do Audiovisual (Fsa).
To air on pay TV Canal Brasil, the three-minute, 18-episode series will mix 2D and stop-motion techniques and will complement a 52-minute documentary on Plympton traveling through Brazil in the company of Cabral and Cup Filmes producer,...

Los Angeles-based Outsider Pictures has picked up North American rights to the award-winning Brazilian stop-motion feature “Bob Spit: We Do Not Like People,” this year’s Best Film winner from Annecy’s Contrechamp section for innovative and outside-the-box toon features and the Best Animated Feature at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
Outsider is currently planning an Academy qualifying run for the film.
São Paulo-based Coala Filmes impressed early on with their claymation adaptation of the works of legendary Brazilian cartoonist Angeli, responsible for many of the country’s best-love, and often loathed, animated characters, when their series “Angeli the Killer” played in the series competition at the Annecy Intl. Film Festival.
One year later, the film’s director Cesar Cabral and producer Ivan Melo participated in the Cannes-Annecy Animation Day, a major cartoon showcase where five animated features in progress pitched to attendees of the Cannes Film Market.

Brazilian Gregorio Graziosi’s “Tinnitus” is co-written by Andrés Julian Vera and Marco Dutra, a Locarno best director winner for “Good Manners”; its Dp is Rui Poças, whose credits include Lucrecia Martel’s “Zama” and upcoming “Tabu.”
Its score is from David Boulter, who played keyboard on Claire Denis’ “Bastards,” collaborated on the score of her “High Life.”
Such credentials will make, almost inevitably, for one of the most polished of entries at Copia Final, Ventana Sur’s pix-in-post competition, where it screens on-site at the Cinemark Puerto Madero on Wednesday.
Developed at the Cannes Festival’s Résidence, “Tinnitus” looks set to weigh in as high art in the service of what on paper may seem a classic sports comeback narrative involving Marina, a high-board synchronized diver, who suffers a serious diving accident caused by tinnitus. She is encouraged by her substitute Teresa, she stages a comeback, though still terrorized...

“Post-Brexit we may want to be doing more of this.”
British producers who attended the recent Ventana Sur market with the UK’s first delegation to Buenos Aires have cited Latin American co-productions as a model for independent filmmakers with international aspirations.
