l’Alternativa - The Barcelona Independent Film Festival Invites Brian Reséndiz to Join Its Mentoring Acció>Cinema Program

The 4th Project Development Workshop for Filmmakers of Indigenous and African Descent in Mexico is expanding its horizons through a collaboration with l’Alternativa—Barcelona Independent Film Festival.

l’Alternativa has invited Brian Reséndiz, one of the workshop participants, to join the Mentoring Acció>Cinema program with his project Morir con las luces encendidas, which focuses on cinema and its relationship to international conflicts and inequalities.

Brian Reséndiz is an Afro-Mexican filmmaker and photographer from the Costa Chica region of Oaxaca. His work explores memory, emotions, and the relationship between bodies, landscape, and identity. A recipient of grants from PECDA and IMCINE, he has developed documentary and photographic projects presented at educational and creative venues such as DocsMX, Ambulante Más Allá, Casa Wabi, and the Centro de la Imagen.

Through the 4th Project Development Workshop for Filmmakers of Indigenous and African Descent in Mexico, FICM seeks to contribute to the professional development of filmmakers from diverse ethnic groups and regions across Mexico, so that their projects in development can receive guidance from film industry experts. This space for training and reflection contributes to the development of projects by filmmakers of Indigenous and African descent in our country.
