Born in Brazil in 1982, he directed the short You, Me and Him (2007), which took the Crystal Bear at Berlin, and I Don't Want To Go Back Alone (2010), later expanded into the feature The Way He Looks (2014)—a film that won the Teddy Award and FIPRESCI Prize at Berlin.

★ FEATURE
Biography
Daniel Ribeiro is a Brazilian film director whose early shorts established him as a voice in queer cinema. You, Me and Him (2007) centered on Danilo, a man balancing his move with his boyfriend Marcos against sudden guardianship of his younger brother Lucas after his parents' death. The film won Ribeiro an award in 2007 and earned the Crystal Bear for best short at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival. His follow-up, I Don't Want To Go Back Alone (2010), depicted Leonardo, a blind teenager, navigating friendship and emerging feelings for Gabriel while his best friend Giovana guides both literally and emotionally. The short won the Iris Prize in 2011. Ribeiro expanded the concept into the feature-length The Way He Looks (2014), which retained the core emotional arc while deepening plot and character detail. At the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, the feature won two awards: the FIPRESCI Prize for best feature in the Panorama section and the Teddy Award for best LGBT-themed feature. As a screenwriter and director, Ribeiro works in the tradition of intimate character study, using disability and sexuality as lenses for self-discovery rather than spectacle. Born May 20, 1982, in Brazil, his Life Path 9 suggests a humanitarian impulse—a drive to tell stories that expand empathy across difference. His Taurus sun grounds his work in sensory detail and emotional authenticity.
