Corrêa is a documentary film director and editor,
and co-director of Vídeo nas Aldeias/Video in the Villages
(VNA). Corrêa began her professional career in France where,
between 1986 and 2004, she edited documentary films produced by
French independent companies and European TV stations. She made
her debut as a director at the Ateliers Varan in Paris where she
began training documentary filmmakers. Her first documentary,
The Body and the Spirits (1996), received the award for
best video documentary in the Bilan du Film Ethnographique at
the Musée de l'Homme, in Paris. In 1998 she launched VNA's
training program for indigenous videomakers. She has edited VNA
videos and recently co-directed Pïrinop, My First Contact
with Kumaré Txicão (Ikpeng) and Karané Txicão
(Ikpeng), which has won several international awards. Corrêa
lives in Olinda, in the State of Pernambuco.
"When we started training indigenous videomakers and decided
to create Video in the Villages as an NGO, I thought we should
change its name to Video from the Villages, as we were suddenly
turning the project's path in a new direction. We were creating
conditions for indigenous people to express themselves in their
own languages, by making films, changing their status from subjects
of investigation into producers of their own speech. Since 1998,
Video in The Villages has produced several films made by Indian
filmmakers. The acknowledgement of this work by the public and
critics in many film festivals is the most beautiful evidence
that we have chosen the right path. Thus, by supporting productions
by indigenous videomakers, we are creating Video from the Villages."
