Francisco Dias was born in 1999 in Porto, Portugal. In 2019, he lived and studied in Norway. In 2020, he completed the Bachelor's in Sound and Image and in 2023 the Master's in Cinema at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, having obtained scholarships for both courses.
Rooted in his culture and personal experiences, his films focus on coming of age, human relationships and landscape. I Don't Like 5 PM, winner of the Take One! competition at Curtas Vila do Conde International Film Festival, and Coast stand out in his filmography.
