Viviane Ferreira
Viviane Ferreira is a filmmaker, screenwriter, lawyer and a leader in Brazilian independent production. She also stands out for her role as an activist, creating and assuming the presidency of APAN - the Association of Black Audiovisual Professionals. In 2021, she took over as director of SPCine, the distributor for the city of São Paulo.
In addition to her work at the institutions, Viviane is constantly involved in new creative projects. She directed "O dia de Jerusa" (Jerusa's Day) (2014), a short film that was selected for the Cannes Film Festival's short film showcase. This project expanded into "Um dia com Jerusa" (2020), which became the first national feature film with a crew made up mostly of black women. Both films feature the talented actress Lea Garcia in the lead role. Viviane's works deal with the journey of a family of African descent, marked by challenges such as exclusion, racism and social inequality, but they also praise the affection and resistance that characterize this trajectory.
It's worth noting that Viviane was part of the script room for the series "Torto Arado" (Paranoid) and directed the feature film "Ó Paí, Ó 2" (2023), in which she also contributed as a scriptwriter.
He is currently in post-production on his new feature, “Família de Sorte”.
