Cecilia
Villaverde

Cecilia Villaverde, award-winning filmmaker and experimental video artist based in Mexico City, is a versatile artist skilled in auteur cinema and various forms of audiovisual content creation, ranging from documentaries, music videos, commercials, and experimental films. With expertise as a director, cinematographer, and post-producer, she brings a unique perspective to her work.

In her exploration of the relationship between the present, its representation, and fiction, Villaverde delves into the concept of cyclicality. Through her audiovisual pieces, she intertwines her fascination with the enigmatic realm of nighttime, its boundless potential, and the intricate complexities of reality. Utilizing surrealistic narratives, experimental montage techniques, and intimate documentary portrayals of real-life characters, she captures the exotic and absurd facets of our contemporary existence.

Her creations serve as a profound quest, an unrelenting search for the ouroboros of space and time, transcending conventional boundaries. More than just artistic expressions, her works become a voice for untold stories, representing essential aspects of her identity: as a woman, a member of the Latinx community, and LGBTQ+. Through her art, she weaves a rich tapestry of diverse narratives, reflecting her own experiences and amplifying stories that touch her personally.
