Leonardo Pirondi is a Brazilian filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His films explore the infinite abyss between the multiple derived versions of reality through non-conventional structures of documentary, experimental, and narrative modes. Much of his work uses analog film techniques to create, inhabit, and document worlds that explore sociopolitical unfoldings between history, imagination, myth, and technology.
His films have been exhibited at film festivals and venues worldwide, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, New York Film Festival, Viennale, BFI London, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Guanajuato, True/False, Ambulante, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, and others. Some of his films exist in the UCLA Film & Television Archive collection and the Cinematheque of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. He holds a Film/Video degree from CalArts, is a Sundance Institute Fellow, and has received the Allan Sekula Social Documentary Fund and Tim Disney Prize for Excellence in the Storytelling Arts.
