I've been a Film major at the Federal University of Santa Catarina since 2018. As part of my undergraduate studies, in 2022, I completed an exchange program at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I researched acting directing, audiovisual writing for feature-length fiction, and film distribution. I also completed the basic and advanced modules of the 2016 and 2017 classes, respectively, at the Instituto Querô workshops, located in Baixada Santista, where I grew up.
I have knowledge and experience in dramaturgy and screenwriting, creative and acting direction, production, executive production, and editing. I'm particularly interested in stories and their modes of telling. My favorite research topic is Brazilian cinema, its narratives, acting direction, and the relationship of its images to space. I've also focused on studying queer theories and other decolonial perspectives of perception, both in and outside of film.
I was one of six finalists in MetrôLab with the short film script "Corpo Sagrado"; part of the editing lab EmCurta, with the film "Espero-te Ao Fim dos Tempos"; and in BrLab SC with the script for "Alma de Barro. " In college, I was a tutor for the Pre-Production and Series Scriptwriting class for two semesters, under the guidance of Professor Alfredo Manevy, and for one semester in the Brazilian Cinema class, under the guidance of Professor Alessandra Brandão.
areas of interest: direction, script, production, executive production, project development, editing.

SYNOPSIS
The Saí District, located on the mainland of São Francisco do Sul, is a region rich in biodiversity and boasts numerous springs that form a complex body of water. The water from this district supplies three municipalities and provides drinking water for thousands of people. Is it possible to create a conservation unit there to preserve the District's natural resources for the long term? To answer this question, the Saí Springs Project was created, the result of a partnership between the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and the Municipality of São Francisco do Sul.

SYNOPSIS
Contrary to popular belief, the history of ceramics in Brazil did not begin with the arrival of Portuguese colonists, with their pottery and blue tiles. Many peoples, from the beginning, developed their own styles, established trends, and refined their techniques and art.
This art, often relegated to a lower level, bears the influence of the people who used and reinvented its production, consumption, and aesthetics. Ceramics are present in our daily lives: in the bricks and tiles of our homes, in the dishes and tables at our dinners, in the works of art in our museums, and in the urban interventions on our streets. To examine ceramics is to understand the history of humanity and how Brazil assimilated a plurality of cultures into one of its most important industries.
