Filipa César was born in Portugal in 1975; she lives and works in Berlin. She studied at the University of the Arts in Porto and Lisbon, at the Academy of the Arts in Munich and obtained a master’s in Context at the University of the Arts in Berlin (2007). Her work interrogates the porous relation between the animated image and its reception by the public. Interested by the fictional aspects of documentary and motivated by a desire to reveal the political behind the moving image, the artist positions herself at a crossroads between storytelling, chronical, documentary and experimental film. Her films—F for Fake (2005), Rapport (2007), Le Passeur (2008), The Four Chambered Heart (2009) and Memograma (2010)—were presented at the 8th Istanbul Biennale, 2003 ; at the Kunsthalle Vienna, 2004 ; the Serralves Museum, 2005 ; at the International Film Festival at Locarno, 2005, at the CAG—Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, 2006 ; the Tate Modern, 2007 ; the St. Gallen Museum, 2007 ; the SF MOMA, San Francisco, 2009 ; the first Architecture Biennale in Venice, the 29th São Paulo Biennale and Manifesta 8, in Cartagena.
