São Paulo-based film and video director. She is a partner at Buriti Filmes. By the time she graduated in Cinema from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado, she was already working as assistant director on TV shows and institutional videos. In 1995, alongside her husband, the playwright Luiz Bolognesi, she created Oficinas Itinerantes de Vídeo Tela Brasil. The project consists of a travelling movie theater that went to various cities in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná where there were no theaters. The idea came up because the artists themselves struggled to show their early short films. Bolognesi also wrote the scripts to most of Bodanzky’s feature films, including her award-winning debut Bicho de Sete Cabeças, from 2001, as well as Chega de Saudade, from 2007, and As Melhores Coisas do Mundo, from 2010. Two of her inroads into theater, Menecma, from 2011, and Essa Nossa Juventude, from 2005, were nominated for the Shell Theater Prize. Her fictional universe revolves around urban characters and daily life in big cities in Brazil.
