É Noite na América

Ana Vaz (1986, Brasília) is an artist and filmmaker working with film as an instrument. Composed as film-poems, her films walk alongside territories and events haunted by the ever-lasting impacts of internal and external forms of colonialism and their imprint on land, human and other than human forms of life. Expansions or consequences of her films, her practice may also embody writing, critical pedagogy, installations, film programs or ephemeral events. Her films have been screened and discussed in film festivals, seminars and institutions such as the Locarno Film Festival, Berlinale Forum Expanded, Tate Modern, Palais de Tokyo, Jeu de Paume, LUX Moving Images, NYFF - Projections, TIFF Wavelengths, BFI, Cinéma du Réel, Flaherty Seminar, TABAKALERA, Whitechapel Gallery, Courtisane or Pivô. Ana is also a founding member of the collective COYOTE, an indisciplinary group working across ecology and political science through an array of conceptual and experimental forms.
