Peter Geraldo
Pedro Geraldo (elu/they)
Born in 1990 in Americana, São Paulo, Brazil. Lives in São Paulo, Brazil.
He graduated in Cinema from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado (FAAP), in São Paulo. He worked as a director of photography in short and feature films that were screened at festivals such as FIDMarseille, Rotterdam (IFFR) and Indie Lisboa (Portugal).
He completed his postgraduate studies in Discourses of Contemporary Photography, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, and in Communication and Arts, at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
His artistic research is associated with the ways of perceiving space in a constant dialogue with what is seen and what remains absent, especially in relation to how the body is observed and how it connects to the materiality of different landscapes.
Sofia Foi is his first feature film and received the award for Best First Film at the 2023 FIDMarseille festival.
