Director Biography - Francisco Cândido

Francisco Cândido (Porto, Portugal, 2005) is a student of the Undergraduate Program in Cinema at the School of Arts of the Portuguese Catholic University. Despite the interest in audiovisual arts, he studied economics in secondary school, but always studying and appreciating cinema more than math equations, he ended up deciding to continue his education by pursuing his passion for cinema. On his second year of the undergraduate with just 18 years, even with his bigger interest in cinema criticism and cinematography, he assumed the role of director on his first project, a documentary titled "Barros". Apart from the role of director he was also the director of photography, producer and colour corrector. Right now he's directing his second project, an experimental film.
