Biography

Flavio Pimenta Alves is a multifaceted creative individual who has made a name for himself as a writer, screenwriter, and film director, having resided in America since 1998.

A recurring theme in his cinematic endeavors is the portrayal of elderly characters as the main protagonists, showcasing his ability to craft compelling narratives around diverse age groups.

Prior to his relocation to America, Alves was born in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he spent several years serving in the Brazilian navy.

In 1997, he decided to leave his native country and relocate to America, arriving in 1997.

However, his journey was not without its challenges, as he was granted political asylum in the United States in 1998, citing political opinion and sexual orientation as the reasons for his asylum claim.

This significant milestone was a direct result of his courageous decision to write the book "Toque de Silêncio" (translated to "Call to Silence" in English),which chronicles his life as a gay man in the Brazilian navy.
