Premieres at Rio International Film Festival 2011 and Mostra Internacional de Cinema de São Paulo. Guilherme Coelho was born in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After graduating in Economics, while also studying journalism and theater (and being a lover of cinema), Guilherme directed his first feature-documentary, Fala Tu, Lives of Rhyme (Berlin Film Festival 2004) - a blissful encounter of filmmakers hungry for fulfilling experiences, and characters trying to make a living through music, poetry and politics in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, Guilherme has been involved in several projects at Matizar Filmes, directing three other documentaries, two TV series and producing seven other documentaries, including the latest two documentaries by Brazilian master filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho. After ten-years in documentary, Guilherme is now focused on learning and bringing to Matizar knowledge and methods for developing scripts in fiction, and meanwhile he will continue to produce documentaries directed by emerging and established talents. *This is the U.S. premiere of A Sunday With Frederico Morais. There will be a Q&A with the director (in English) following the screening.* *Co-sponsored by ARTS@DRCLAS and the DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program*
