Fábio Villela Barreto Borges (June 6, 1957 – November 20, 2019) was a Brazilian filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, and film producer.
He was best known for directing O Quatrilho (which was the first Brazilian film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in more than 30 years) and Lula, o filho do Brasil, a biography based on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's early life, which had been the most expensive film in the history of Brazilian cinema upon its release.
Barreto slipped into a coma in 2009 after being involved in a car accident in Rio de Janeiro and, in August 2014, was reported to be in a minimally conscious state.
He died on November 20, 2019, after almost 10 years in a coma.
