CAMILA VALE

Camila Vale (b. 1993, Lisbon, Portugal) is a filmmaker whose work explores intimacy and solitude through the materiality of film and the activation of cinematic archives. Her practice moves between analogue and digital media, creating a dialogue between past and present, memory and displacement.

​

She holds a degree in Cinema/Moving Image (2015) and completed the Advanced Course in Visual Arts at Ar.Co in Lisbon (2017), where she began merging cinema with visual arts. She later earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Fiction Writing (2018) and a Master’s in Film Preservation at Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (Basque Country), supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

​

Her films include Cactos e Outras Plantas (Curtas Vila do Conde, 2018) and Selvajaria (IndieLisboa, 2020). In 2023, she worked at the Cinémathèque de Toulouse, focusing on amateur and home movies.

She currently teaches at Ar.Co’s Analogue Film Lab and is developing the installation I’m Home during her 2025 artist residency at Kunstraum, with support from the Luso-American Foundation.
