Marco Martins

Portuguese director Marco Martins made an immediate impact with his debut Alice, which garnered a host of nominations and prizes at international festivals and premiered at Cannes. He cut his teeth as a director at the Lisbon Theatre and Television School and as an assistant to Wim Wenders, Manoel de Oliveira and Bertrand Tavernier.

In 2002 he set up his own production company, Ministério dos Filmes, with which he shot his second picture How to Draw a Perfect Circle. Martins' latest work, Saint George, also explores the inner dramas of his distinctive characters.
