Edgard Navarro was born in Bahia and initiated his career in film with short films shot in Super8 (highlight for Rei do Cagaço 1977). His films bring the mark of irreverence and of a provocative, iconoclastic humor. Over the years he has done many awarded films, such as Superoutro (Gramado, 1989), Eu me lembro (Brasília, 2005) and O Homem que não dormia (SESC Melhores Filmes, 2013).
