Topics

  • Who keeps the value: film and territory

    What remains in a place after a production passes through, and how policies and contracts can change it.

    For Funds, film commissions, governments and markets

  • From intention to practice

    How sustainability commitments become operational decisions, evidence and learning within Latin American realities.

    For Production companies, platforms and labs

  • What one hour of conversation changes in a production

    Mediation as knowledge management, with the study's data and method.

    For Universities, labs and crews

  • Both sides of the table

    How funds, juries and festivals decide, told by someone who has sat in those seats.

    For Emerging directors and producers

  • Curation as public work

    What almost two decades of programming teach about audiences, cities and responsibility.

    For Festivals, film clubs and film schools

  • Who does the boundary work

    Gender, recognition and invisible work in the sustainability transition, on set and beyond it.

    For Academic and leadership gatherings

Formats

  • Keynote or talk
  • Panel and moderation
  • Masterclass and workshop
  • Jury and selection committee
  • Thesis committee and evaluation
  • Project mentoring

I speak in Portuguese, Spanish and English, in person or online.

How I assess invitations

  • I give priority to spaces where the topic meets real decisions: who funds, who produces, who programmes.
  • I prefer formats with time for conversation, as well as presentation.
  • To reply quickly, I need the topic, date, audience, format and conditions of the invitation.
