Wagner de Assis

A beacon of Brazilian cinema, Wagner de Assis was born in 1970 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Active in the film industry since the late 1990s, de Assis primarily focuses on drama and spiritual films, with his most notable works including "Nosso Lar" and "Astral City: A Spiritual Journey," which have garnered him significant recognition, although not any major international film festival awards. His directorial style is often characterized by its deep spiritual undertones and his ability to explore complex human emotions within the framework of traditional narrative cinema. Wagner de Assis is a director who not only brings stories to life on screen but also seamlessly intertwines them with profound philosophical discourse, creating a cinematic experience that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
