Her latest film,\u00a0The Edge of Democracy\u00a0(2019, produced by Netflix and nominated for the Oscars), constitutes the final part of a trilogy in which the director&#8217;s biography confronts the eventful history of her country, Brazil. Her first short film,\u00a0Undertow Eyes, explored the memories and stories of her grandparents, in a personal and existential tale of love and death. Screened at MoMA in 2010, it won the prize for Best Short Film at the Rio Film Festival, the London International Documentary Festival and the Cine Las Americas International Film Festival (Austin, USA).\u00a0Elena, her first feature length film, was the most watched documentary in Brazil in 2013. A hybrid creation lying somewhere between a documentary, diary and feverish reverie, this film was acclaimed by critics all over the world. Among others, it won the prize for Best Documentary Feature at the Havana Film Festival (2013) and was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography at the Cinema Eye Honors (2014). In 2015, with Lea Glob, Petra Costa co-directed\u00a0Olmo and the Seagull,\u00a0a captivating dive into the meandering thoughts of a young actress during her pregnancy, always delicately fluctuating between the codes of fiction and documentary.<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>The Atelier will also be an opportunity to present two films that she has produced with her production company Busca Vida Filmes:\u00a0Babenco\u00a0: Tell Me When I Die\u00a0by B\u00e1rbara Paz (a prize-winner at the latest Venice Film Festival), and\u00a0Ecstasy, by Moara Passoni (world premiere at this upcoming CPH:DOX 2020, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival). The director began her theatre training in Brazil aged 14.
