‘Rule 34’ Director Julia Murat Developing Musical ‘White Masks’ at the 2025 Pop Up Film Residency Projeto Paradiso (EXCLUSIVE)
Brazilian filmmaker Julia Murat to further develop autofictional musical 'White Masks' on Pop Up Film Residency Projeto Paradiso in Italy
Lago Film Festival founder and art director Viviana Carlet, who will be hosting Murat in Italy, says that the filmmaker “brings to the residency not only a powerful artistic vision, but also the courage to explore deeply layered and politically sensitive issues with radical honesty. Executive director of Projeto Paradiso Josephine Bourgois says the programme was envisioned “to guarantee that Brazilian filmmakers who have had their international debut get a chance to develop their third film (and above) in the best conditions, based on the fact that there are actually limited offers for this category of accomplished however still emerging talent.” Previous editions include Beatriz Seigner in Slovakia with “While They Sleep,” Esmir Filho in Athens with “Undetectable,” Caru Alves de Souza in Vilnius with “Lonely Hearts,” Daniel Bandeira in the Faroe Islands with “Red Express” and, most recently, Carolina Markowicz in Bucharest with “The Funeral.”
