About Ana Vaz
Ana Vaz (1986) is one of the forefront Brazilian filmmakers and visual artists today. Her experimental, boundary-pusher films position her as a leading voice regarding the possibilities of cinema in terms of reinventing our perception of the world. She does so by playing with linear time and framing landscapes in original ways. Also, by bringing to the fore other forms of life other than humans, highlighting fauna and flora in specific environments.
Born in Brazil and having lived in Australia, France, and Portugal, Vaz has been advocating for the imbrication between memory, politics and ecology in a creative, unruly fashion. Far from conventions, she is not interested in teleological narratives, partially following the avant-garde tradition of names like North American, feminist filmmaker Maya Deren. Attuned with contemporary debates around decoloniality and Indigenous cosmovisions, she traces back the origins of capitalism and State violence, while pointing to the future by provoking a sensory experience through moving images.
Vaz’s works have been shown at the Locarno Film Festival, Berlinale Forum Expanded, Cinéma du Réel, MoMA Doc Fortnight, CPH: Dox, International Film Festival Rotterdam, among others.
In 2015, she won the Film Society of Lincoln Center Kazuko Trust Award for artistic excellence and innovation in moving-image.
