Director
Award-winning Independent Writer & Director based on the subtropical island of Madeira, Portugal. Four-time winner for Best Documentary Short, Winner for Best Cinematography and Nine-time Nominee — including Best Director — known for her evocative, experimental, and unorthodox vision and style.
Crafted from centuries of stories.
A lineage forged in mystery.
Cinema as heirloom.
Cinematic Alchemist. Visual Poet.
Ava Ferrera approaches cinema as both archaeology and alchemy: a process of uncovering the obscured, restoring the forgotten, and transforming ancestral echoes into contemporary visual language. Her films explore the tension between flesh and myth, shadow and devotion, sensuality and sovereignty. With an eye for baroque composition, Mediterranean emotionality, and geometric mysticism, she constructs images that feel both ancient and startlingly intimate.

Storytelling is making the abstract visual and mystifying the mundane — taking us on a journey of evocative stories, emotions and visuals which are transformative, sensorial and reminiscent experiences.
All you need is a vision and an encounter… for a creation to come to life. Storytelling is not about "being", but rather "becoming".
