Hugo Dos Santos

Journalist & documentary filmmaker

I work on exile, migration, political memory, urban transformations and audiovisual archives across Europe, between France, Portugal and the Balkans.

Based in Sofia, I develop journalistic, documentary and curatorial projects that explore how history, displacement, urban dynamics and collective memory shape contemporary societies.
