António FARIA

Cineasta português anteriormente radicado em Macau, António Faria construiu uma carreira dinâmica que abrange tanto o documentário como a ficção. Iniciou-se como montador e assistente de camera em Portugal, tendo-se estreado na realização em 2009 com Time Travel, documentário distinguido no Festival Internacional de Cinema e Vídeo de Macau. Em 2019, enveredou pela ficção com Ina and the Blue Tiger Sauna, apresentado no IFFAM. O percurso de António Faria constitui um testemunho do seu empenho em transcender fronteiras, quer ao nível dos géneros, quer no domínio da diversidade cultural.
