CONCEPT ORIENTATION
Silas Tiny was born in São Tomé in 1982 and with only 5 years of age, migrated to Portugal with his family.
Even before concluding his filmmaking course in the Superior School of Theater and Cinema in Lisbon, in 2013, Silas creates his first documental feature film entitled Bafatá Filme Clube (2011), in which he reflects about the significance of the Bafatá village in Guinea Bissau during it’s colonial time and it’s later desertification, through the deactivation of the village’s cinema, place considered to be the “village’s soul” until the 1975 independence – to this day this place is guarded by the ghostly figure of Canjajá, the old cinema’s projectionist.
Nowadays, Silas is currently working in the post-production on two documentaries: Constelações do Equador and Casa Decana.
