Os Trasformadores

(The Transformers)
6’, Portugal, 2009

Two aliens arrive to visit Earth. As soon as they leave their spaceship, they are enchanted by the beauty of the planet and its inhabitants, but even more so by the enormous quantity of garbage that ruin it. So, they try to teach the earth people the importance of recycling and respect for nature. Two extraterrestrials. Two children. A mission on Earth. Will they succeed in completing it?

The film was made entirely by the children in the fourth grade class of the Scuola di Chainça, Abrantes (Portugal), all born in 2000, and is the result of an animation workshop held in 2009 with the director Carlos Silva and the artist João Paulo Dias.
