I was born in Mexico City in 1997. I have a BA in Modern Language and Literature (English Literature) from the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where I am soon to receive my degree certificate with my dissertation ‘This Simulation Is Not as the Former’, an introductory assessment of the film Viola, by Matías Piñeiro (2012). I have a diploma in World Cinema History from Cineteca Nacional and have taken more than a dozen courses, workshops and seminars on Film at institutions such as the National School of Film Arts, Cinefilias, Otros Cines, the Spanish Cultural Centre in Mexico and Casa Negra. I write film criticism for the print magazine El Cine Probablemente and in digital media such as Butaca Ancha, Correspondencias – Cine y pensamiento, photogénie, Icónica and F.I.L.M.E Magazine. In 2023 I published the chapter entitled ‘Háblame cantadito: las múltiples posibilidades de la lengua en el cine mexicano 1940-1960’ of the book Espectáculo a diario: Ensayos sobre el cine clásico mexicano 1940-1969, which accompanied the retrospective of the Locarno International Film Festival the same year. Since 2022 I have been programme coordinator for the Bogotá International Short Film Festival (BOGOSHORTS) and a member of the International Competition Selection Committee (for the documentary, experimental and animation categories). I was selected as a member of the Youth Jury of the Black Canvas Festival (2021) and to participate in Talent Press Guadalajara of the Guadalajara International Film Festival (2022) and the Young Critics Workshop of Film Fest Gent (2023). I am also a translator and English teacher.
