Alex Mendez Giner

DISPLACED

United States, 2019, 13’40’’

More than eighty years ago Franco pushed half of my family out of Spain. They found refuge in Venezuela. Now I belong to the Venezuelan Diaspora, An immigrant, descendant of immigrants. This is my lament. My attempt at understanding. Absurd historic recurrence.

Alex Mendez Giner

Filmmaker whose works defy the boundaries of storytelling, exploring complex characters at the intersection of subjective experience, reality and the marvellous real. His meticulously designed images, redolent of an allegorical atmosphere, create a visual experience capable to subsume other senses. He has screened in major international film festivals including Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival, Milan International Film Festival, Viña del Mar International Film Festival, Sapporo International Film Festival, Guadalajara International Film Festival, Bilbao International Film Festival, and Durban International Film Festival. He is recipient of the Audience Choice Award from the Shanghai International Film Festival, the Grand Prize from the Snowtown Film Festival, the Best Film and Best Directing Awards from the Caracas City Hall Film Awards, the Best Story Award from the Buffalo-Niagara Film Festival, and a production grant from the New York State Council of the Arts.
