Licínio Silveira Azevedo (Licínio de Azevedo, Licínio Azevedo, Novo Hamburgo, Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1951) is a Brazilian–Mozambican journalist, film producer, screenwriter, and film director of award-winning documentaries and feature films.[1][2][3][4]

Biography

Born in Porto Alegre in 1951, journalist Azevedo left Brazil during the military dictatorship there for post-revolutionary Portugal in 1976, continuing to Guinea-Bissau where he trained journalists. He interviewed members of the liberation movement PAIGC on their struggle against Portugal and published the results with Da Paz Rodrigues in their book Diário da libertação : a Guiné-Bissau da nova África (Liberation diary: the Guinea-Bissau of the new Africa, 1977). Living in Mozambique since the 1970s, he reported on Frelimo's struggle in Relatos do povo armado (Stories from the armed people, 1983).[5]

At the Maputo Instituto Nacional de Cinema de Moçambique (INC, National Cinema Institute of Mozambique, now Instituto Nacional de Audiovisual e Cinema de Moçambique INAC), Azevedo worked with film directors Ruy Guerra (born in Maputo, 1931) and Jean-Luc Godard (1930–2022).[4] Azevedo became one of the founders of the Mozambican film production company Ébano Multimédia, and director and producer of various feature films and documentaries.[4] His first medium-length fiction film The Great Bazaar (O Grande Bazar) and other films were presented at many film festivals, such as the Fribourg International Film Festival.[2] His documentaries and drama feature films obtained seven prizes and three award nominations at film festivals.[6]
