Júlio Eduardo Bressane de Azevedo (born February 13, 1946) is a Brazilian filmmaker and writer.

A representative of the Brazilian cinema marginal, Julio Bressane began making films as an assistant director of Walter Lima Jr., in 1965.

[1] Bressane came into exile in London in the early 1970s, but returned to Brazil several years later and made one film after another, using slapstick and debauchery as its main features.

Critics consider Bressane the most scholarly of the Brazilian film directors, and his work is notable for the diversity of its narrative language.

He is also noted by his low-budget, short-time shootings, with an average of 11 to 14 days to make and edit a film.
