Biography
film director
Ivan Cardoso
Ivan Cardoso (Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, 1952),
photographer and artist, decided to dedicate himself to cinema after
seeing
O Bandido da
Luz Vermelha (1968)
by Rogério Sganzerla.
During the early
1970s he put his photographic activity at the service of the
Tropicalism
movement, creating the covers for albums by Gal Costa and Caetano
Veloso and
illustrating
books by Waly Salomão,
Torquato Neto o Augusto and Haroldo de Campos. After directing many
short films
in Super8, in 1982 he made his first full-length fiction film, O
Segredo da
Múmia, with which he created a new genre,
"terrir," a mixture of comedy and
horror.
