Norma Bahia Pontes (25 January 1941 – 24 August 2010) was a Brazilian filmmaker. Originally working as a film theorist, critic, and essayist, she directed two short films while in France, where she had previously been educated at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques. Amidst the escalation of the military dictatorship in Brazil, she and her partner Rita Moreira fled to New York City to continue filmmaking, studying at The New School for Social Research. A 1974 Guggenheim Fellow, she and Moreira co-directed several videotaped films, many of which are considered lost – Lesbian Mothers (1972), Living in New York City (fl. 1974–1977), and Looking for the Amazons (1977) – and founded the Women for Women arts festival and the distribution company Amazon Media Project.
