Nalini de Sousa is a filmmaker/producer. Born in Lisbon she moved to Goa in 1998. There, she first tried a career as an importer of Portuguese goods, but soon realized that this is not where she wants to be in life. She teaches Portuguese, publishes books and translates others but, nothing gives her more joy than bringing a new story to the screen. In 2006, she was presented with an opportunity to showcase Goa to a Portuguese speaking audience via the RTPi (Rádio Televisão Portuguesa Internacional). She directed, anchored and produced 75 documentaries that showcased different aspects of Goan culture, architecture, cuisine and economics, a project that continued up to 2011. She hasn’t stopped since.

In 2018, she made the film on the Goan-Mozambican intellectual Aquino de Bragança. The new project is a film on “The Club”, the Portuguese meeting point in Zanzibar, which also exists in Goa. She worked together with Pedro Pombo on this film. He is an anthropologist from Lisbon who worked in Goa over the last couple of years and works on the shared history between India and East Africa.
