History

Nicole Noia (1996, Porto) is a film director and photographer. She's from a small town in Northern Portugal called Aves - which she's quite proud of being from. Coming from a very nostalgic family, it was looking to her family archives of VHS, Super 8, and photographs that portray their experiences, that she discovered her passion about stories told from a personal perspective and family portraits on film. With a focus on documentary, her films are born from memories.
