Julie has a degree in Electrical Engineering from UFSM, Cinema from UFSC and a master's degree in Language Sciences from Unisul. Having worked in both the exact and human sciences, she seeks to bring the most diverse questions to cinema, usually through photography. Her first film as a director, the short film Estilhaços, which she developed as her final project, was featured and won awards at national and international festivals. The film addresses issues such as self-image and its construction in time and space. In her dissertation, she dealt with bisexuality as an aesthetic in cinema, an investigation she intends to deepen when she enters her doctorate.
