Matias Mariani (Portuguese: matʃˈiaʒ maɾiɐnˈi) is a Brazilian film director, screenwriter and producer.

Life and career Having studied film and television production at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, Matias Mariani begun his career as a film producer. He worked as a producer in films such as Sonhos de Peixe (2006), Drained (2006) and Freedom is a Big Word (2018). As a screenwriter Mariani's work has been directed by the likes of Tata Amaral, Julia Murat and Pedro Amorim. Matias first work as a director was the short film Rear View of a City (2004). His first feature-length work was the documentary I Touched All Your Stuff (2014), co-directed with Maíra Bühler, which premiered at FID Marseille that same year.

Shine Your Eyes (2020) was Mariani's first feature-length fiction film, which premiered at the Berlinale 2020 Panorama Session. Hollywood Reporter's film critic Caryn James classified that the film as "A debut feature shimmering with confidence and talent. (...) Shine your Eyes displays a singular vision. It should, rightly, gain attention for Mariani as a bright new filmmaker."[1] New York Times' Lovia Gyarkye writing about Shine Your Eyes, reported that "Matias Mariani, finds a distinctive way to tell a familiar narrative — of immigrants in megacities, of how dreams can pummel you and of the complexity of fraternal bonds."[2].
