Francisco Álvarez Ríos works as director and curator of the Cámara Lúcida International Contemporary Film Festival. In his work as a filmmaker, he investigates reality and its escapes, approaching it from different explorations around the demystification of the image, which includes digital work, celluloid, analog technologies, found files of different types and performative experiments. He has directed the films "The hidden shadow" (2020), Circulación en la corteza (2019) and the film performance Casa Abandonada (2019) and Alamabre (2021).
