Travelling
Multidisciplinary artist whose cinematographic work focuses on themes that reflect on life and death as well as the relation between nature and humankind. Her style is a trip between colors, textures and a combination of visual techniques that challenge narrative convention as a means of eliciting deep and unknown sensations in audiences. As part of her training, she specialized in still and moving photography at the Centro de Periodismo José Martí in Havana. Fernández Alcaide’s work has been presented at festivals such as Animasivo, Kannibal Film Festival, the San Diego Underground Film Festival and ULTRAcinema, and has also been broadcasted on distribution platforms, notably Filmin Latino. She received a “Jóvenes Creadores” grant from Mexico’s Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes in 2020 and 2021; enjoyed support from the Programa de Estímulo a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico, in 2019 and 2016; and from the Programa de Apoyos a las Culturas Municipales y Comunitarias in 2014.
