Interview with Claudio Borrelli and Cripta Djan, director and screenwriter of the film Urubus
The interview features Cláudio Morelli, the director and screenwriter of the new film "Urubus," which explores the culture of urban graffiti, or pichação, in Brazil. Cláudio shares his journey into this subculture, revealing that his interest started when he noticed graffiti at a building in São Paulo. He formed a lasting friendship with Davi, a pichador, beginning in 2008, which significantly influenced the film. Cláudio emphasizes that the film is deeply personal and reflects his own experiences as a graffiti writer. He claims that nearly 100% of the film's content is based on real-life events he witnessed or experienced during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a crucial period for him in the street art scene. The film aims to convey an authentic portrayal of that underground world, capturing moments that were not documented in real life. "Urubus" is set to premiere this weekend in Brazil.
