Glauber de Andrade Rocha (1939-1981) was a Brazilian film director, screenwriter, and film theorist, a leading figure and the main exponent of the Cinema Novo movement. His work is inextricably linked to his theory of the "Aesthetics of Hunger," which proposed a revolutionary cinema capable of representing the violence and social contradictions of Brazil. He achieved international acclaim with his feature films, including *Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol* (1964) and *Terra em Transe* (1967), the latter winning the Grand Prix at the Locarno Film Festival. His most celebrated film, *O Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro* (1969), earned him the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival. Forced into exile by the military dictatorship, he continued his work abroad, maintaining a visionary style and a strong political commitment. Recognized as one of the most influential filmmakers in Latin America, his work has left an indelible mark on the history of world cinema.
