Gabriel Bitar, Brazilian director and artist, is best known for his work on the animated feature film "Tito and the Birds," which screened at more than 150 festivals and made the shortlist for the 2019 Oscars; besides co-directing, he was responsible for the art direction and compositing. Experimenting with new techniques and alternative processes, Gabriel has directed several music videos, short films, and a children's series made in claymation for Canal Futura, and his last solo short film, "Em Busca da Terra - Música Prometida," won an award at the Múmia Festival in Belo Horizonte in late 2022. Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to work on dozens of feature films, including the recent "Ritas" and "Racionais, das ruas de São Paulo para o mundo," as well as contributing animation and art direction to films such as Tropicália, Cidade Cinza, Raul, and Tim Maia. He has won the Festival do Minuto four times with experimental films, and also maintains a personal practice in painting, printmaking, and photography, performing live projections with frame-by-frame animation and Live Paint.

He is a partner at Veranito, a small studio in São Paulo, where the compositing stage of "Tito and the Birds" was carried out. Gabriel also animates and creates visual identities for events and festivals, such as Flip, in Paraty, over its last 7 editions. Among his most recent works are two music videos — one for Criolo and Milton Nascimento, made with charcoal and plaster, and another for Hélio Ziskind, "Pó Pó Pó," produced for Selo Sesc, drawn frame by frame and hand-painted in mixed media — as well as an animated documentary short film, made with oil painting, currently in production.
