Historia
De formação parcialmente autodidata, cursou medicina, psicologia, jornalismo e artes plásticas, sem concluir nenhum dos cursos. Começou a carreira profissional no início dos anos 1980, na TV Educativa/RS, onde foi repórter, apresentador, editor, roteirista e produtor. Em 1982 foi um dos criadores do programa semanal "Quizumba", que misturava ficção e documentário, com uma linguagem bastante ousada para a televisão pública da época.
De 1984 a 1986 foi diretor do Museu de Comunicação Social de Porto Alegre. No mesmo período, com José Pedro Goulart e Ana Luiza Azevedo, criou a empresa Luz Produções, com a qual realizou seus dois primeiros curtas e também produziu teatro. A partir de 1986 trabalhou com publicidade, tendo dirigido dezenas de comerciais para televisão até 1990.
Em 1987, foi um dos fundadores da Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre, da qual é integrante até hoje. No período de vigência da Lei do Curta, alcançou grande sucesso de público e crítica com os filmes O dia em que Dorival encarou a guarda (1986), Barbosa (1988) e, principalmente, Ilha das Flores (1989), com os quais recebeu vários prêmios nacionais e internacionais, inclusive no Festival de Berlim.
A partir de 1990 passou a trabalhar como roteirista para a TV Globo, em geral associado ao núcleo de Guel Arraes, com o qual escreveu e eventualmente dirigiu várias minisséries e dezenas de especiais.
Em 2002 estreou como diretor de longa-metragens com Houve uma vez dois verões. Mas foi com o segundo longa, O homem que copiava, que chegou ao grande público (mais de 600 mil espectadores nos cinemas) e recebeu vários prêmios, inclusive o Grande Prêmio Cinema Brasil, para o melhor filme brasileiro de 2003.
Ministrou vários cursos de roteiro para cinema e televisão, em parceria com seus colegas da Casa de Cinema (1989 e 1990) ou individualmente, no Festival de Inverno de Ouro Preto (1993 e 1995), na Fundação Cultural Banco do Brasil (1997) e na Escuela Internacional de Cine y Television de San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba (1999).
Festivais de vários países já realizaram retrospectivas e homenagens à obra de Jorge Furtado: em Hamburgo (1994), Rotterdam (1995), São Paulo (1997), Santa Maria da Feira (1998), Goiânia (2002), Toulouse (2004), Paris (2005), Londres (2006) e Bruxelas (2006).

Written in 1625 by the British playwright Ben Jonson, the play “The Staple of News” provides a historic root for this discussion about the role of the press in modern day Brazil. Journalists of several generations discuss the dilemmas of the selection and focus of their subjects, the resistance of the media in accepting itself as a political agent, the inevitability of interpretation as there are no hard facts in nature, and above all the search for an always complex balance between credibility and the public’s growing demand for news.
