Film Studies

I've always been a creative person, fascinated by storytelling in all its forms—whether through film, photography, design, music, or writing. Growing up in Brazil, I was constantly drawn to the arts, but I also had a deep curiosity for subjects like psychology, neuroscience, and biology, which influence the way I approach filmmaking today.

Before starting my undergraduate degree, I completed the International Foundation Programme in Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at King’s, which helped me transition into university life while exploring different academic fields. Now, I’m focused on filmmaking, with a particular passion for directing, cinematography, and screenwriting, always exploring the intersection of film with human emotions. I'm passionate about how film can spark feelings, shift perspectives, and bring powerful stories to life, and I hope to one day create projects that resonate with audiences and leave a lasting impact.

As an international student, I’ve also had the opportunity to live in Denmark and now in the UK, which has shaped not only my worldview but also my creative approach. Moving to a new country and adapting to a different education system can be both exciting and overwhelming, so I’m happy to share my experiences and offer advice to prospective students who might be going through a similar journey.

Film Studies

I am a second-year PhD student in Film Studies, with a research focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence and documentary filmmaking, particularly through the use of oral histories. My work explores how AI can be applied to enhance and transform traditional documentary storytelling, examining both its creative potential and ethical considerations. I’m especially interested in how AI can help preserve and interpret personal narratives, expanding the ways we capture and share human experiences. My goal is to push the boundaries of documentary film by integrating innovative technologies while respecting the rich history of the genre.
