welcome to cinephilosof: light,camera, action!

I was born at the turn of the millennium, growing up in a world of VHS tapes, DVDs, video rental stores, and the rapid evolution of the internet and streaming. Music shifted from CDs to MP3s, then to iPods, shaping the soundtrack of my childhood.

​

In my household, music was more than sound—it was memory, a generational mixtape.

My imagination was shaped by the golden age of Cartoon Network, the charm of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, and the timeless magic of Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks. Beyond the screen, I was equally captivated by the words of Ruth Rocha, Ana Maria Machado, Lygia Bojunga, Monteiro Lobato, Maurício de Sousa, and Ziraldo—stories that fueled my love for storytelling in any form, across any genre, in any language. My curiosity had no off switch, fueled by encyclopedia collections, the restless thrill of exploring the new unknown.

​

​Today is widely discussed, the screens time to the younger ones, the concern of this manipulation, new form of literacy that is a part of our world for at least a century. Here, I peel back the layers of storytelling and its trends, dissecting pop culture to spark, focusing on the unconcious ways the stories we consume passively, but absorb deeply, the whys and hows.
