Rafael Sá Carneiro (born 14 September 2002, Lisbon, Portugal) is a filmmaker, screenwriter and performer whose work lives at the intersection of cinema, drawing, music and performance. A recent graduate in Film & Media Arts from the Universidade Lusófona de Lisboa, he charts human stories with emotional clarity and a collaborative spirit. In 2023 he made the short film Évora, a contemplative portrait of place and memory. He co-wrote and directed the series Pena Negra (with João Severo), and in 2025 released the film A Hora do Chico! , alongside the documentary short The Doors of Perception. His creative practice is rooted in humility, respect and connection. He believes that every project thrives when people feel, share and relate. Whether behind the camera, on stage, or at the drawing-table, Rafael seeks to make work that resonates, opens space for vulnerability, and invites the audience into shared emotional territory.
