Marco Dutra

**Marco Dutra** is a filmmaker and composer from São Paulo. Born in 1980, Marco grew up obsessed with the horror and fantasy genres, and this influence is evident in his films, which bring shadows and ghosts (both real and imagined) into the domestic spaces of middle-class life. In 2017 his genre bending feature “Good Manners”, co-directed with Juliana Rojas, won the Silver Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival. Previously, Dutra and Rojas collaborated on “Hard Labor”, which opened in Cannes Un Certain Regard in 2011 and was a Sundance/NHK Award finalist. Both films were edited by close friend and collaborator Caetano Gotardo. “All the Dead Ones” marks the first directorial collaboration between Dutra and Gotardo. Marco’s solo projects include the horror film “When I was Alive” (2014) and the thriller “The Silence of the Sky” (2016). He also directed on the HBO series “The Hypnotist”. Marco lives between São Paulo and Johannesburg with his husband, filmmaker John Trengove.
