Director Gabriel Nóbrega of VetorZero re-appropriates scenes from the classic tale of Pinocchio. The animations are part of a larger documentary called “A Vida Privada dos Hipopótamos”, exploring the experiences of foreign prisoners inside Brazilian jail. Sparing no attention to detail, the sets and figures are weathered and textured to imperfection, recalling the seminal period of “Once Upon a Time”.
