One of the most acclaimed and influential Brazilian films ever made, Black God, White Devil (Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol) tells the story of Manoel, a young cowherd who murders a wealthy ranch owner and flees to the drought-ridden hinterlands of northern Brazil with his wife Rosa. Now outlawed, they join a religious cult headed by the mystic self-proclaimed saint Sabastião, who condones acts of violence. The couple are plunged into a moral dilemma between embracing religious fanaticism and a life of brutality amongst rural peasant bandits. Meanwhile, the authorities hire a gunman known as Antonio Das Mortes to track them down.

This audacious and fearless award-winning film, celebrated for its fusion of mysticism and folklore and its examination of aspects of religion, violence, and social injustice, was hugely influential in
shaping the Cinema Novo movement and has inspired many filmmakers. Mawu Films is proud to present this milestone of Brazilian filmmaking in a brand new 4K restoration of the original 35mm materials preserved by the Cinemateca Brasileira.

On Christmas Eve in a tranquil seaside town, chaos erupts as Santa Claus undergoes a startling transformation into a fearsome werewolf. Meanwhile, Lucy, struggling with her unpopular YouTube series 'Monster Hunter's,' captures this bizarre event on camera.

With only a rusty ice skate and her limited knowledge of werewolves amassed from horror comics, Lucy and her family embark on a Christmas Eve adventure to save Christmas.

'Werewolf Santa' is a unique holiday film that blurs the lines between quirky family drama and spine-tingly horror fantasy, offering an unconventional twist on the Christmas movie genre. =
