Ana Vaz (b. 1986, Brazil) is an artist and filmmaker who works with cinema as a tool. Her films, or rather her film-poems, travel through territories and events haunted by the perennial consequences of internal and external forms of colonialism, and their footprints on the earth as well as on human and other-than-human forms. Her practice can also take the shape of writing, critical pedagogy, installations, film programs, or ephemeral events, which are expansions or developments of her films. Her works have been presented at film festivals, seminars, and institutions such as Locarno Film Festival, Berlinale Forum/Forum Expanded, New York Film Festival - Projections, TIFF Wavelengths, BFI London, Cinéma du Réel, Tate Modern, Palais de Tokyo, Jeu de Paume, Pivô, LUX Moving Images, Tabakalera, Whitechapel Gallery, MAM – Museum of Modern Art São Paulo, Jameel Arts Center, among others. Vaz is also a founding member of the COYOTE collective along with Tristan Bera, Nuno da Luz, Elida Hoëg and Clémence Seurat, an interdisciplinary group working between ecology and political science through conceptual and experimental formats.
