Ana Sofia Fonseca

Ana Sofia Fonseca is a natural storyteller. She has a degree in Communication Studies and she's a director, producer and journalist. Born in Portugal, she lives with one foot in her home country and the other in Cabo Verde - she has a house two steps away from Cesária's house. "Cesária Évora" is her second feature length documentary, following an award-winning 20 year career in journalism, in which she worked on features and television documentaries, and published five non-fiction books and a novel. For years, she has been dedicated herself to telling compelling stories with a focus on human rights themes-particularly stories about women rights and race issues. Her work was presented in festivals such as South by Southwest (SXSW) (United States), It's All True (Brazil), Jeon Ju International Film Festival (South Korea), Doc. Fest Munchen (Germany) and Indie Lisboa (Portugal).
