Screening and talk with Alexandra Cuesta @alexandra_cuesta_ moderated by Raquel Schefer @raquelsmschefer 
24 May, 6pm 
Alexandra Cuesta (Ecuador) is a filmmaker and visual artist who combines experimental film traditions with documentary practices. Her 16mm films and videos are created through an associative and improvisational process and often investigate the reciprocity of the gaze in time-based representation. Some of the notions she explores include instances of displacement, the Latin American diaspora, and the poetics of the everyday experience. Her work has screened in Art of the Real at Lincoln Center, New York Film Festival, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, FID Marseille Film Festival, Viennale, FIC Valdivia, Anthology Film Archives, among others. She was recently invited to present complete retrospectives at the Open City Documentary Festival (UK), CRAC Occitane (France), and Doc’s Kingdom in (Portugal). She has an MFA in Film and Video from the California Institute of the Arts. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship for Film and Video.
