Eduardo Brito works on photography, film and writing. He holds a Master’s degree in Artistic, Museological and Curatorial Studies from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto with a dissertation entitled “Claro Obscuro – Representations of the Museum in Fiction Film”. Eduardo is an assistant professor at this faculty and a researcher at I2ADS. Between writing, photography and film, Eduardo’s work explores the connections between truth, fiction and memory, as well the relation of text to image.

Eduardo also directed the short films “Penumbria” (2016) and “Slope” (2018), co-wrote with Rodrigo Areias the feature film “Blue Breath” (2018) and wrote the short films “The Scoundrel” (Paulo Abreu, 2012), “The Glory of Filmmaking in Portugal” (Manuel Mozos, 2015), “Catherine or 1786” (Francisca Manuel, 2017) and “The Everlasting Man” (Luís Costa, 2017).
