Swallow The Universe is a Japanese Emaki manga ((a hand-painted horizontal scroll)) which tells the grandiloquent blood-and-thunder saga of a young child lost in Manchuria’s deep jungles.. His sudden presence creates complete anarchy in the local fauna’s until-then perfectly organized and primitive world. Gifted with a striking beauty, the child’s presence awakens in the monkeys, tigers, anteaters and amphibians, envy and need of possession, originally human passions..

Few people know that every night, at 03:33, the clocks stop and time freezes for an instant. For a fraction of a second, a second night comes to life, a magical night where the spirits of the city come together and organize their own neighborhood parties. Some souls, the less fortunate, trapped between these two worlds, are in charge of controlling this tumult. This is the story of the eternal struggle for the soul of São Paulo, the clash between bohemia and authoritarianism, between comedy and horror.

COMPOSITION OF THE PROGRAM

Thee Wreckers Tetralogy : No Place Like Home (2008) // Lonely Bones(2013) // Splintertime (2015) // Reruns(2018) – 44’

Born in 1969 in the Nederlands, Rosto was an artist, director, illustrator, composer, musician who marked the world of cinema through graphic richness, sound and visual of his short films. He left us on 7 mars 2019 at the age of 50 years of illness.
From his first film Beheaded (1999) at his last Reruns (2018), each of his films is an initiatory journey between the real and the imaginary, always in a rock atmosphere both languid and cataclysmic.
Rosto got attached, throughout his career, to put in pictures his dream worlds, with various graphic and cinematographic techniques and in perpetual renewal : 2D and 3D animation, real shots, puppets ...
Hybrid, confusing, multidimensional ... these are the adjectives that characterize this total and sprawling work.
He concludes in 2018 his musical tetralogy Thee Wreckers Tetralogy made of No Place Like Home, Lonely Bones, Splintertime and Reruns (awarded in Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand, Ottawa, Anima), complétée par le documentaire Everything’s different but nothing has changed.
