Gustavo Carneiro
Student at the Institute of Arts and Image. The relationship between Gustavo and the cinema began the day he saw the film “A Clockwork Orange” by Stanley Kubrick for the first time; which he has watched more than ten times. This event was very important for Gustavo because, in addition to introducing him to the world of cinema, he ended up having a great influence on his relationship with all manifestations of art – both directly, as is the case with literature, as it was when he watched the film and ended up buying the book on which it is based and from there he really began to love the act of reading; but also indirectly, since from then on he gained a much greater interest in painting, music, photography, theater, etc.
