Programming
and Curating
My curatorial approach is guided by emotion and experience, prioritising rythym and contrast rather than categories or genres. For me, a program should feel like a journey—one that surprises, challenges, or simply invites contemplation, but that ultimately connects with the audience at any level.
AS FILM CURATOR & PROGRAMMER
Since 2023 Curiosa: The Monthly Short Film Showcase (Granada, Spain)
Curiosa was born from my desire to go deeper into film curation. After a few years coordinating programming at Cinema Life, I felt the need to create a space where I could explore my own curatorial vision by selecting films of all genres in a monthly basis. Curiosa is currently a reflection of that: a local cineclub focused on building community through the emotional, live experience of an unexpected yet thoughtfully curated journey.
MORE ABOUT CURIOSA
AS PROGRAMMING COORDINATOR
Since 2021 Cinema Life Film Festival Collective (Atlanta, Georgia. USA)
At Cinema Life, I’ve gained valuable experience as the programming coordinator to five currently active events. Through mentorship, this role sharpened my organisational skills and exposed me to an approach to festival programming, ultimately inspiring me to take the leap into curating my own projects like Curiosa, The Monthly Short Film Showcase of Granada, Spain.
MEET THE COLLECTIVE
From Theatre
to Curation
My background and experience has led me to understand film, movement, and design through the lens of a former performer, so I see curating as a choreography in itself, and the creative process as an inevitable act of collaboration.
VENEZUELAN-BORN (1981), SPAIN BASED (Since 2012)
Studying drama marked the beginning of my entire career, setting in motion a series of events where one thing led to another. I started as a theatre actor, which eventually led me to contemporary dance thanks to my then body language teacher, Rocio Rovira—a beautiful Chilean mime artist with the most expressive hands and a lovely white bob hairstyle.
While pursuing my Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance, I was also studying graphic design, and working as both an actor and a producer for a children's radio show. During this time in Caracas, I also worked as a designer for a few theatre and dance companies.
My growing interest in dance photography and dance film led me to pursue artistic photography, which took me to study in Finland and later Spain. After living in different cities I came back to Granada, where I shifted my focus to programming and film curating, eventually establishing Curiosa, the Monthly Short Film Showcase, where I curate short films each month.
