Alejandro Alonso graduated from EICTV, the film school in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, in documentary directing. He is interested in registering the periphery, those displaced and barely visible worlds that function as vanishing points towards more complex imaginaries. His work has been shown at festivals and exhibitions in more than 30 countries, and his film Abyssal was a THFF22 selection.
