About

Liliana Navarra is a PHD candidate in cinema studies at the New University of Lisbon, fellowship from FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology.
She is currently writing a dissertation on Portuguese director João César Monteiro and his cinema.

She is a freelance photographer and journalist involved in cinema and cultural studies. Her research interests include issues of visual art, photography, visual anthropology and documentary. She is a member of AIM - Association of Moving Image Researchers, NECS - European Network for Cinema and Media Studies and IFL - Institute for the Philosophy of Language.

She collaborates with some European film festivals and has organized some retrospectives about Italian cinema.

She is also the creator of the first official website dedicated to him: www.joaocesarmonteiro.net. The first official web-site dedicated to the master João César Monteiro, one of the Portuguese avant-garde film director during the ’60s and the “Novo Cinema” period, is born.
The web-site, which is a tribute to a great intellectual, writer and director, will open new perspectives on Portuguese cinema. The main aim will be to build a virtual platform to promote discussions among film-critics, scholars, etc. A gate aimed at creating a focus on his films and his skills and a network around his figure, unpublished and unknown in Portugal and abroad.
The main goal of the website is to give and share material from all over the world for the study of his works, downloadable, as a free, with a simple click.
Soon, screenplays from the original papers preserved by Monteiro’s family will be available on our site, with unpublished photos too. Furthermore, as soon as possible, everyone will be able to access the database of the director’s book and audio library.
