Born in Lisbon in November, 1960, Edgar Pêra graduated in the early 1980s from the Film Academy in Lisbon, where he concentrated on editing. Having spent the 1980s working variously as a producer, editor and screenwriter, he directed his first short in 1990. Since then, Pêra has gone on to direct hundreds of documentaries, short films and features for the screen, television, Internet, live shows and exhibitions. A leading light of the current generation of Portuguese experimental filmmakers, Pêra’s work is characterised by an interest in political and philosophical subject matter, blended with surreal humour and imagery. We are delighted to welcome Edgar Pêra to present these programmes as well as his gala feature The Baron.
