Born in Portugal, Silvino Santos (1886-1970) falls in love with the Amazon River. At the age of thirteen, at the turn of the century, Silvino crosses the Atlantic to the glorious Amazon as it was fantasized by the Europeans. In 1913 he makes his first feature documentary film. He was set to live an adventure alongside some amazing characters, witnessing significant events from the apogee to the fall of rubber monopoly. Shooting in the Amazon since the beginning of the 20th century, he becomes a legend of the jungle and one of the pioneers in filmmaking in Brazil.
Aurélio Michiles studied at the University of Brasília's Arts and Archictecture Institute and at Lage Park's Audiovisual School, in Rio de Janeiro. He worked for TV Globo and TV Bandeirantes, two of the biggest TV Channels in Brazil, and in 1997 released his 1st feature film, The Filmmaker of the Amazon (1997), which received several national and international prizes. In 2015 his 2nd feature film hit theaters, Tudo por amor ao cinema (2015), a documentary about Cosme Alves Netto, known for the preservation and restoration of many brazilian movies.
