Leonardo Pirondi
Leonardo Pirondi is a Brazilian-Portuguese filmmaker and artist born in São Paulo, Brazil. His films often inhabit realities similar to our own that create friction between documentary and fiction structures; his filmmaking practice emerges from the fabulation of sociopolitical resonances within culture, myths, history, technology, and image-making. His films have been exhibited in festivals worldwide, including Toronto, the Tiger Short Competition in Rotterdam, New York, Viennale, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Guanajuato, Slamdance, True/False, Ambulante, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, EMAF, and others. His films and installations have been seen in art centers such as CCCB (Barcelona), Wexner Center for the Arts, and REDCAT (USA), and he has had solo exhibitions at Galeria Mola (Portugal) and Spectacle Theater (New York). Pirondi holds a degree in Film/Video from the California Institute of the Arts, is a Sundance Institute Fellow, and has received the Allan Sekula Social Documentary Fund and Tim Disney Prize for Excellence in the Storytelling Arts. He has also given Visiting Artist lectures at the Department of Film, Video, Animation & New Genres of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Chicago.
