Alexandre Siqueira (Rio de Janeiro,1980) splits his life between France and Portugal. His passion for the illusion of movement began at the age of six. Alexandre was browsing through a science book on his father’s desk when he noticed a sequence of photograms depicting a boxing fight that had been used to illustrate the astonishing world of animation. Since 1999, Alexandre has directed and collaborated in several short animated films, such as Sopa Fria, Odisseia nas Imagens and Kali, the Little Vampire by Regina Pessoa. Alexandre graduated from the la Poudrière school, in France, with Journey to the Sunflowers Field, which was premiered at Animateka 2010 and selected at several festivals. Besides short films, Alexandre has already collaborated in feature films, TV animated series, directed some commissioned films and music videos and published several illustrations works.
