Welcome to the third episode of a 3-part special on the 2024 International Film Festival of Rotterdam. Host Nadine attended the film festival as a journalist and media maker this year. This series was recorded on site and shares three highlights from the dynamic festival. Julia De Simone has been dedicated to audiovisual production since 2003. In cinema, she directed and scripted the feature-length documentary “Aracati” (IDFA), the short films “Sinfonia da Vacina” (Festival do Rio), “O Porto” (Tiger Rotterdam), “Study for the Wind” (Mostra de São Paulo), “Sinfonia” (Al Jazeera IFF) and “Encanto” (Documenta Madrid). "Praia Formosa" is her first fiction feature and a Brazil-Portugal co-production. It was awarded and supported by the FSA, ICA, HBF, World Cinema Fund and RTP. Julia received the Hubert Bals Fund grant for the film from the IFFR in 2014. You can find more on the 2024 HBF films: HERE. You can read Olivia Popp's review on Cineurope.
