Lima Barreto (filmmaker)

Died in 1982

Victor Lima Barreto was born on 23 June 1906, in São Paulo. He began in the 1940s with short films, then, invited by Alberto Cavalcanti, joined the Vera Cruz studio around 1950, where he made documentaries before his first fiction feature. His next major project, also devoted to the sertão, came to nothing, and he made only one more feature film, shown at Cannes in 1961. He died in São Paulo on 23 November 1982.
