Brazilian musician, composer, visual artist and filmmaker born in central São Paulo. Has acclaimed music works under the name Babe, Terror. Has been active in Brazilian film criticism (Folha de S. Paulo, Kleber Mendonça Filho's Cinemascópio, Contracampo, Paisá) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Makes, in his own words, "garage cinema" and "phantom bedroom music" since 2007. Started for real with short "Planalto Rhonda". Then made 2 features in a row, "Os Pólos" and "A Princesa de Rangoon". Has an interest in "secret archives", the "cinema as a platform for music and vice versa", likes the "mixtures that don't have much reason, but lead to strange portals"; says he makes music and movies "for the mystique of uncertainty". --Marjorie Maccard
