It's my 5th time. I love Berlin! I ve been to Berlinale twice: one in 2008 when a short I wrote, called Tá, won the Teddy then in 2011 to participate of Talent Campus with a feature film project at Talent Project Market.
Other times I was in Berlin as a tourist or visiting friends. I love its nightlife, queer scene and arts everywhere.

Love, Kreuzberg, sex, the huge avenues, great people, the canal with the swans in Kreuzberg, the shops of Mitte, cinema, Fassbinder.

Sao Paulo, connecting in Frankfurt

Before traveling, what things have still to be resolved before the trip?
I'm finishing to write a doc in Rio doing  some research here. And then I just need to pack :)

Is something special you always carry when traveling, something special that you bring to Berlin?
Not really - just my sense of humor I guess and comfortable shoes!

What is your favorite ice cream?
Chocolate 

Bye and see you soon during the Festival....boa viagem!.
