Picking Tribes

About This Movie

Picking Tribes is a unique gem. This semi-animated feature takes you through the eyes of a girl navigating her dual heritage in the 1940s. The blend of vintage photographs with Carlos Sp's watercolor and animation cell art creates this nostalgic yet whimsical feel. It’s got this delightful pacing, balancing humor with deeper themes of identity. The performances feel genuine, capturing that longing to fit in and be understood. It’s not typical, which is part of its charm – it stands apart from other animated films of its time.

Picking Tribes has a bit of a niche following among collectors, largely due to its semi-animated style and the unique art by Carlos Sp. The film was released in limited formats, which makes original copies harder to find. Interest seems to be growing, particularly among those who appreciate its themes of cultural identity and the distinctive visual storytelling approach.
