Ana Vaz

Ana Vaz is an artist and filmmaker born in the Brazilian highlands inhabited by the ghosts buried by its modernist capital: Brasília. Originally from the cerrado and wonderer by choice, Ana has lived in the arid lands of central Brazil and southern Australia, in the mangroves of northern France and in the northeastern shores of the Atlantic.

Her filmography activates and questions cinema as an art of the (in)visible and instrument capable of dehumanising the human, expanding its connections with forms of life – other than human or spectral. Consequences or expansion of her cinemato-graphy, her activities are also embodied in writing, critical pedagogy, installations or collective walks.

Recent screenings of her work include: Berlinale Forum Expanded, MAM São Paulo, IFFR, Tate Modern, Palais de Tokyo, Jeu de Paume, LUX Moving Images, New York Film Festival.
