Felipe Beltrame, 29, is a documentary filmmaker, socio-environmental communicator and activist, focused on defending human rights and nature.
Its mission persists in humanizing agendas and making civil society aware of socio-environmental issues through imagery narratives focused on community, territory, economy and co-participation.
Working on issues of climate emergency, indigenous movement and popular demonstrations, he collaborated with several NGOs, institutes and traditional and alternative press vehicles. For example: National Geographic Brasil, Mídia NINJA, Greenpeace and SOS Mata Atlântica.
He participated in several group and individual exhibitions, such as SP-Arte 2018 and SP-Foto 2020 and published two photobooks. One collective and one individual, on the largest cluster of stilt houses in Latin America, the Dique da Vila Gilda. With the article "Independent journalism and great reporting: digital influence and sustainability" he participates in the book "Communication and Digital Marketing", from the creative economy series.
In the globalized world, images have gained even more protagonism in communication. Powerful photographs are essential to tell stories that humanize and create empathy in order to contribute to the mobilization of civil society in favor of socio-environmental causes.
