António de Macedo

António de Macedo was born in Lisbon on 5 July 1931. A graduate in architecture from the Lisbon School of Fine Arts in 1958, he worked as an architect at the city hall until 1964, while shooting experimental short films. He directed some fifty short and medium-length films and twelve features, in which esotericism and the fantastic won him a place apart. Often at odds with censorship before 1974, he felt excluded from public funding in the nineties, stopped shooting and devoted himself to writing, research and teaching. He died in Lisbon on 5 October 2017.
