Geoffrey Smith<br />
Geoffrey Smith nasceu em Melbourne, na Austrália e foi sempre um fascinado<br />
pelas imagens em movimento. Nunca à vonta<strong>de</strong> no “país da sorte”,<br />
contudo, viajou para se encontrar a si mesmo e <strong>de</strong>scobriu pelo caminho<br />
uma predilecção por ouvir e contar histórias. Em 1987, estando no Haiti,<br />
a ajudar a fazer um documentário sobre a primeira eleição que lá havia<br />
em 31 anos, após ter <strong>de</strong>scoberto um massacre <strong>de</strong> vinte e um eleitores num<br />
pátio <strong>de</strong>, escola, foi baleado e ferido. Esforçando-se por reorganizar <strong>de</strong><br />
novo a sua vida em Londres, Geoffrey <strong>de</strong>cidiu filmar a viagem <strong>de</strong> volta<br />
ao Haiti para encontrar o homem que quase o matara. Este aclamado filme<br />
foi posteriormente exibido pela BBC e é notável pelo retrato catártico<br />
intimo representado na tela. Tendo <strong>de</strong>scoberto, através <strong>de</strong>ste filme muito<br />
pessoal que a câmara po<strong>de</strong> ser uma po<strong>de</strong>rosa ferramenta catártica para<br />
ajudar as pessoas nos períodos difíceis das suas vidas, muitos dos filmes<br />
subsequentes <strong>de</strong> Geoffrey são construídos através <strong>de</strong>ste tipo <strong>de</strong> uso da câmara.<br />
Vencedor <strong>de</strong> vários prémios, incluindo um RTS em 2004 e em 2007,<br />
fez mais <strong>de</strong> vinte dois filmes para as principais emissoras do Reino Unido,<br />
focalizando a sua atenção para a observação dos dramas da vida real, on<strong>de</strong><br />
abundam profundos dilemas éticos e morais. O seu último filme é um<br />
Storyville BBC2 filmado <strong>de</strong>ntro do KGB hospital em Kiev, e apresenta<br />
uma banda sonora <strong>de</strong> Nick Cave e Warren Ellis.<br />
Geoffrey Smith was born in Melbourne, Australia and was always fascinated<br />
by the moving image. Never at ease in “the lucky country” however,<br />
he went travelling to find himself and discovered en route a love of listening<br />
and storytelling. In 1987 he found himself in Haiti helping to make a<br />
documentary about the first election there in 31 years, but following the<br />
discovery of a massacre of twenty one voters in a schoolyard he was shot<br />
and woun<strong>de</strong>d. Struggling to put his life back together in London, Geoffrey<br />
<strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to film his journey back to Haiti to find the man who had so nearly<br />
killed him. This acclaimed film was subsequently shown on the BBC and<br />
is remarkable for the on screen catharsis it intimately portrayed. Having<br />
discovered through this very personal film that the camera could be a<br />
powerful cathartic tool in helping people through difficult periods in their<br />
lives, many of Geoffrey’s subsequent films are built around this use of the<br />
camera. Winner of numerous awards, including an RTS in 2004 and in<br />
2007, he has ma<strong>de</strong> over twenty two films for all the major UK broadcasters<br />
and is drawn to observational real life dramas where <strong>de</strong>ep ethical and<br />
moral dilemmas abound. His latest film is a BBC2 Storyville shot insi<strong>de</strong><br />
the KGB hospital in Kiev, and features an original soundtrack by Nick<br />
Cave and Warren Ellis.
