Neville D'Almeida
Born 1941 in Belo Horizonte. Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro.
Neville D'Almeida is one of Brazil’s most influential filmmakers. Having started his career studying acting both in Brazil and in the United States, he transitioned to working behind the camera and has directed and produced over 50 feature-length, short, and experimental films. He was censored by the military dictatorship in the beginning of his film career but then went on to become a popular film director with one of the top-grossing films in the history of Brazilian cinema, A Dama do Lotação (The Lady on the Bus). D’Almeida has been named as one of the leaders of the Cinema Marginal movement—concurrent with the Tropicália moment—in which themes that referred to marginal societies were explored, however, while he expresses admiration for this and other Brazilian film movements, he vehemently rejects identification with any of them. D’Almeida collaborated with Hélio Oiticica on more than 200 projects, including the Cosmococa series, which was named by the filmmaker.
