THE NAME THAT CAME FROM SILENCE – VOL. I

Meireles André is an internationally awarded Angolan writer, mythmaker, and screenwriter whose work redefines the boundaries between literature, cinema, and ancestral memory. Born in Uíge and raised between the silence of Huíla’s highlands and the echoes of northern Angola, he crafts stories where trauma, resistance, and the supernatural converge—not as metaphor, but as lived truth.

His novels—Herança das Sombras, Cidade de Serra, Crônicas de Elandor, Órfãos, and O Sangue de um Monstro—have been published across Brazil, the United States (Dirty Magic Magazine, Star Spun Lite), and Lusophone Africa, earning acclaim for their poetic intensity, metaphysical depth, and unflinching exploration of collective pain, identity, and spiritual rebellion.

Born in Uíge and raised between the silence of Huíla’s highlands and the echoes of northern Angola, he crafts stories where trauma, resistance, and the supernatural converge—not as metaphor, but as lived truth.

His novels—Herança das Sombras, Cidade de Serra, Crônicas de Elandor, Órfãos, and O Sangue de um Monstro—have been published across Brazil, the United States (Dirty Magic Magazine, Star Spun Lite), and Lusophone Africa, earning acclaim for their poetic intensity, metaphysical depth, and unflinching exploration of collective pain, identity, and spiritual rebellion. Recognized by BANTUMEN as “one of the deepest voices of the new African literature,” his writing doesn’t tell stories—it returns stolen memories to their rightful owners.

Now adapting his expansive literary universes for film and television, Meireles creates cinematic experiences that blend lyrical realism with mythic horror, ancestral folklore with existential thriller, and intimate human drama with cosmic stakes. His scripts are not written—they are rituals.

He believes silence is the first language of creation. That love without justice is complicity. And that some wounds must be shown—not to shock, but to heal.

Currently developing multiple feature films and series based on his original novels, Meireles lives and writes between Angola and the global imagination.
