Felipe Casanova

Of Swiss-Brazilian origin, Felipe was raised in Rio de Janeiro. He completed his master’s degree in filmmaking at the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) in Belgium. Currently based between Brussels and Geneva, his work engages with a hybrid approach, exploring singular forms for each project – fictional speculations emerging from interactions with the real. His work has been presented in numerous festivals and venues, including Cinéma du Réel, Berwick Film & Media Arts, RIDM, Uppsala, Kurzfimtage Winterthur, Bozar, among others. His latest film, O Rio de Janeiro continua lindo, won the Pardino d’Oro from the National competition in Locarno and was selected as the festival’s European Film Awards short film candidate.
