Miguel Arraes de Alencar Filho, known as Guel Arraes (born 12 December 1953) is a Brazilian filmmaker and TV director.
Until 2018, he was the director of weekly dramas at Rede Globo, being mainly responsible for the series and miniseries made by the network. Since then, he still continues to contribute, write and direct projects.[1]
Personal life
Arraes is the son of former governor of the state of Pernambuco Miguel Arraes and brother to Ana Arraes. He had lived for a time with his family in exile in Algeria during the military dictatorship. In 1972, he matriculated at the University of Paris, majoring in anthropology and becoming a member of the Ethnographic Film Committee, led by Jean Rouch. There, he worked as a projectionist, archivist, and editor. Arraes became part of Rede Globo in 1981 as co-director of the novela Jogo da Vida, created by Silvio de Abreu. He would later direct the novelas Guerra dos Sexos (1983) and Vereda Tropical (1984). The following year, he directed the hit series Armação Ilimitada.[2]
In 1993, he and his wife, actress and film director Virginia Cavendish, had their child Luisa Arraes.[3] In 2001, Arraes and Cavendish separated after having been married for 10 years. Despite separating, she invited him to direct in the film Lisbela e o Prisioneiro, where she would produce and also act in.[4] He has been married to Carolina Jabor, the daughter of Arnaldo Jabor, since 2003.[5]
