Edgar Pêra is a Portuguese filmmaker who calls himself Homem-Kâmara. He was born in Lisbon November 19, 1960 and says that his life’s goal is to record life in film. He concentrated in film editing at the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema where he first enrolled in 1980.
The first movie Pêra directed was in 1990 and was a short film titled Reproduta Interdita that debuted at the Fantasporto Portuguese film festival. He has worked on a variety of film productions over the years including video, long and short films, as well as documentaries.
