Biography
Brazilian filmmaker graduated from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) in cinema and arts & design. Experimenting with language studies in short film format, Bruno Ferreira produced EPIDEMIA NACIONAL (2020) in a pandemic context and in the same year CADA MINUTO (2020); Next year he produced two more politic short films entitled DOMINGO NO ASFALTO (2021) and POPULAÇÃO SOLITÁRIA (2021) and an abstract short film Não ME ABALO (2021) In 2022 on his trip to Europe, he shot the short film in the city of Braga in Portugal QUANDO TUDO ACABAR (2022) entirely with non-actors. The next work in the same year was a study with long inverse shots entitled O NÃO VISTO (2022). At the end of the year, on the verge of the Brazilian presidential election, he promoted a personal family analysis in abstraction with SEGUNDA NA URNA (2022); The following year, with his first work, he ends the "Abstract Brazilian Political Trilogy" with DANO LUNÁTICO (2023). Then, in partnership with regional musicians, he performs O CONCERTO DE ONTEM (2023) in homage to Paul McCartney and with an emotional mother-son vein. He returns to a familiar format seeking to study alternation in editing with "Blue Portrait". A postponed project, TEMPORADAS AO SOL, due to the availability of his old friend who played the main character, is realized, achieving international exposure at short film festivals. Bruno Ferreira makes an abstract documentary, in three parts, about the gradual process of an Ayahuasca ritual carried out by the Shawãdawa indigenous "Arara Encantada" family, named "TRILOGIA DA FORÇA", the strength trilogy.
