Rita Azevedo Gomes

Rita Azevedo is a director and a writer who, influenced by her friendship with Manoel de Oliveira, began a career in cinema, theater, and opera in the 70s. She has been a programmer in the film department of the Gulbenkian Foundation as well as at the Cinémathèque Française since 1993. Azevedo’s filmography has been shown on screens of countless festivals around the world, such as in Montreal, the Viennale, Locarno, Jeonju, and Cinesul Rio, and some like the BUEIFF have paid tribute to her in a retrospective. After the releases of The Portuguese Woman (2018) and Danses macabres, Skeletons and other Fantasies (2019), a film co-directed by Pierre León and Jean-Louis Schefer, the director presents The Kegelstatt Trio.
