Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, filmmaker and composer Marco Dutra grew up obsessed with the horror and fantasy genres, and this influence is evident in his films, which bring shadows and ghosts (both real and imagined) into the domestic spaces of middle-class life. In 2017 his genre bending feature Good Manners, co-directed with Juliana Rojas, won the Silver Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival. Previously, Dutra and Rojas collaborated on Hard Labor, which opened in Cannes Un Certain Regard 2011 and was a Sundance/NHK Award finalist. It received the Citizen Kane Award in Sitges the same year. Both films were edited by close friend and collaborator Caetano Gotardo. All the Dead Ones marked the first directorial collaboration between Dutra and Gotardo and opened in Official Competition at the Berlinale 2020.

Marco's solo projects include horror film When I Was Alive (2014), which screened in Rome and Beijing Film Festivals, and the thriller The Silence of the Sky (2016), which competed in Tokyo, Huelva and Havana before opening worldwide on Netflix. He also directed on the HBO series The Hypnotist (2017) and the Disney+ series Tarã (2025). His new film is Bury Your Dead, to be released in 2024. Marco lives between São Paulo and Cape Town with his husband, filmmaker John Trengove.
