Walter Salles

Walter Salles’ 1995 feature, Foreign Land, won eight international awards including Brazil’s Best Film of the Year. His next film, Central do Brasil, was selected for the Sundance-NHK Cinema 100 Award for its screenplay and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1998. Central do Brasil went on to receive the Golden Bear for Best Film and Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival that same year, the Golden Globe and the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1999 and two Academy Award® nominations.

His most recent feature, Abril Despedaçado, was nominated for both the BAFTA Award and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 2002.

In addition to his feature film directing, Salles also acts as producer or co-producer of young filmmakers' features in Brazil. He co-produced City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles and co-directed by Katia Lund, and produced Karim Ainouz's Madame Sata. He is now producing Cidade Baixa, the first film by his former Assistant Director Sergio Machado, as well as Andrucha Waddington’s new film, The House of Sand.

"L'un des plus plus beaux cadeaux que le cinéma peut offrir à un réalisateur est la liberté de choisir à quelle famille filmique il veut appartenir.

Celle de Cinéart est unique. Ce n'est pas seulement une compagnie de distribution qui a un regard et une éthique affirmés depuis dix ans. C'est aussi un point de rencontre(s), un lieu d'échange, un territoire dans lequel on peut faire des amis et des découvertes.

On ne peut que lui souhaiter "uma vida muito, muito longa". Une très longue vie."
