Brazilian actress Priscila Vaz continues to captivate the global stage with her talent, elegance, and unstoppable presence in the world of cinema. The multi-talented artist has just added another prestigious accolade to her career, winning Best Supporting Actress at the Marbella International Film Festival in Spain, thanks to her powerful performance in the English-language suspense drama Secrets.
Filmed in the Brazilian cities of Passo Fundo and Joinville, Secrets is a production designed for international impact. Featuring a stellar cast including Danni Suzuki and actor-director Emiliano Ruschel, the film is a testament to the rising influence of Brazilian cinema on the global market. Priscila’s character, Katharine, plays a central role in the unfolding mystery — a performance that earned her recognition in a competitive field of international talent.
“This was my very first film project, and to be recognized like this is beyond words,” said Priscila. “Just being nominated was already such an honor. Winning… it’s an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and encouragement to keep pushing forward.”
The recognition in Spain is only part of what has been an unforgettable season for the actress. Just weeks prior, Priscila Vaz made her ninth red carpet appearance at the iconic Cannes Film Festival, a milestone very few Brazilian actresses have achieved. This marks her fifth consecutive year at the event, further solidifying her reputation as a prominent figure representing Brazil on the most glamorous stages of world cinema.
Draped in a show-stopping designer gown and radiating grace, Priscila shared behind-the-scenes moments from Cannes on her social media, reflecting on the experience and the premiere of the critically acclaimed film Affeksjonsverdi (Sentimental Value). Starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, the film moved audiences with its emotional depth and impeccable acting — a cinematic moment Priscila described as “brilliant and unforgettable.”
“This year had something truly special about it,” she said. “Every time I walk the red carpet, I carry a piece of Brazil with me. I hope my tenth time in Cannes will be even more memorable.”
From her breakthrough role as Margarida in the Brazilian soap Escrava Mãe to her growing international recognition, Priscila Vaz exemplifies the modern global actress — a woman of substance, style, and ambition. Now balancing her career between Brazil and Europe, she continues to elevate Brazilian talent on a global scale.
With awards, acclaim, and unforgettable red-carpet moments, Priscila Vaz’s journey is only beginning — and the world is watching.
