Gil Baroni

Gil Baroni crafts films that explore the experiences of characters seeking to affirm their identities and find their place in the world. In the film Alice Júnior, he follows a transgender teenager’s journey toward autonomy, affection, and freedom, addressing prejudice through a lighthearted, hopeful, and fairy-tale-like narrative. In Casa Izabel, he turns to suspense and drama to explore power dynamics, identity, and social conventions. Moving across genres and approaches, his work connects individual and social issues, using humor, imagination, and the possibility of transformation to explore freedom and resistance.
