- Painting in the College of Fine-Arts of the University of Lisbon. In 2006
was part of the production team of the second number of MArte magazine whose

«My relationship
with documental cinema does not go astray from the commitment that I hold with
cinema in general – as a spectator. I can, however, highlight, an interest in
a more projectual and immediate sense of the medium, drawn from construction
of situations that the notion of document implies; whether it presents itself
with an iconic nature or as the result of chance, it holds an uncompromising
sense of intent and purpose, in which the position of both author and spectator
are often interchangeable, through the direct formulation of an opinion.» |

Zulmira
Gamito
(Universidade Lusófona)
Born in the 2nd of August 1986 in Lisbon (Portugal).
When I was 12 years old, my mother took me to the cinema to watch the movie
Amadeus, by Milos Forman. For the first time, I felt how cinema could give
me much more than momentaneous entertainment.
I studied Arts in High School. I was16 when I first met somebody who really
shared my interests and tastes. After that, there was a period of great encounters
(with persons and works) that made stronger my will to create. At the present
time, I am finishing my licentiate in Cinema, Video and Multimedia Comunication
at Universidade Lusófona, for I am in a experiment and learning period.
«
Documentary
is a form of cinema that reveals realities and helps humankind to know the
world better and live better in it.» |

graduate degree in Film and Television at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in which
attends the Masters in the same area with a view to developing over 2007/2008,
entitled 'Gestos Ancestrais na Região de Lafões', complemented with a Documentary
the same field with the guidance of the documentary and professor Jose Manuel
Costa.
Moreover, I’m journalist in the weekly press journal “O Diabo”.
While majoring made a documentary 'Olho Bipolar' for Jose Manuel Costa and
the film 'A Pedra do Jogo' for the filmmaker and professor João Mário Grilo.
I had the great pleasure to develop knowledge film with these two personalities
of Cinema.
«In my view, the documentary mixes with the reality filmed through the eyes
and perspectives that mix with the cinema. More than curtain to cover up the
real world of images, are testimonies of life, experience and places of affections
that lead the viewer to the limit of his own observation.
It is for me a great honour and very rewarding to be present in this edition
of DocLisboa - with the poster stronger and diverse, always-on condition jury
and the lover of the seventh art.» |
