Cinema in Transgression Jury


João Pedro Afonso
Portugal


Born at 1964, January 31, João Pedro Afonso is a sixty year's old street philosopher by choice, and a physicist by heart.

He has a degree in Engenharia Física Tecnológica (Physics engineering) and dabbled many years in the academy. He is the author of an algorithm for SAT solvers to find short-circuits in very large logic circuits presented at DATE 2017, which some thought to be a serious contender for a Ig Nobel award, and a current moderator in a Facebook group of quantum physics with 300 thousand members. He likes science, mathematics, puzzles, chess and other games, books, animation, science fiction and fantasy, children, to debate, to program, to swim, to draw, and much much more. He dislikes conflicts, mosquitoes and yellow soup. His most recent project is to grow a beard and see how the facial hair self-organizes. He wants to learn how to read Inca Quipus to see if there is an hidden meaning in the knots formed but so far, he only got a new understanding for the difficulties of long hair users like women.

I define culture not only as the flavor of our way of life but also as our main tool to prepares us to life. Open societies demand openess to ideas, discussions, contexts, and freedom to discuss alternatives. Cinema is one of the major arts to do that.
