Meet Filmmaker Ivan Cordeiro- Super 8mm & 16mm Film

As Pro8mm celebrates its 50th year in business, we interviewed client Ivan Cordeiro about their experience with film. Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, Ivan Cordeiro left Engineering to start filming Super 8 documenting Recife's rapid changes as depicted in “Censura Livre," his 28 minute experimental short film about the destruction of the city's cinema houses. He has shot, produced and edited several Super 8 films which have become known as “Novo Ciclo do Recife," a prolific cannon of films shot in the late 70s. Later on he started shooting 16 mm footage for documentarians as well 35 mm. Now as a Filmmaker living in Los Angeles and Northeast Brazil, he specializes in documentaries as well as online marketing strategies for companies. His films have been featured at Janela Internacional de Cinema do Recife, Curta 8, Mostra do Filme Livre and gives Super 8 Film Workshops in Brazil and the United States
