Public speaking, workshops and transmission

Overview

Robson Dias works not only as a director, editor and cinematographer, but also as a speaker, teacher and mentor. His interventions are grounded in practice: festival circulation, international co-production, documentary form, political cinema, decolonial perspectives and Afro-Indigenous representation.

His approach combines professional experience with critical reflection, creating spaces where artistic language, industry realities and structural questions can be addressed together.

Speaking

Robson has appeared as a speaker at Cannes Docs 2025 — Marché du Film, in the panel “Voices of the Majority in Film,” focused on Afro-descendant representation, financing and distribution in Brazil. He has also taken part in Rio2C, one of Latin America’s major events for audiovisual, music and innovation.

Teaching & workshops

In Marseille, he has taught camera practice at École Kourtrajmé and led camera workshops at Civic-fab. He has also worked as an editing instructor with collectif LFKs, contributing to self-directed and alternative learning contexts.

These workshops are designed for emerging filmmakers, artists and participants seeking practical tools as well as a broader understanding of how images produce meaning, power and visibility.
