Matías Meyer studied film direction at the Cinematographic Training Center (CCC) in Mexico City. Crafting captivating films that evoke unfamiliar geographies and existentially charged engagements with duration and time, the award-winning filmmaker has developed a personal vernacular that speaks compellingly beyond generic convention and the present moment. He offers refracted but precise visions, that engage vigorously with global film traditions, eschewing exoticism for cinematic formulations of the ineffable. His feature films display a familiar signature and a compelling thematic center, expressing the vastness of solitude, and the epiphanies and purifications that occur on journeys in search of sanctuary, rapture or release. His films have been programmed and awarded in festivals like Toronto, Rotterdam, Locarno and Morelia.
